SEATTLE-July 19, 2010-(NASDAQ: AMZN)-Millions of people are already reading on Kindles and Kindle is the #1 bestselling item on Amazon.com for two years running.
It's also the most-wished-for, most-gifted, and has the most 5-star reviews of any product on Amazon.com.
Today, Amazon.com announced that Kindle device unit sales accelerated each month in the second quarter-both on a sequential month-over-month basis and on a year-over-year basis.
"We've reached a tipping point with the new price of Kindle-the growth rate of Kindle device unit sales has tripled since we lowered the price from $259 to $189," said Jeff Bezos, Founder and CEO of Amazon.com.
"In addition, even while our hardcover sales continue to grow, the Kindle format has now overtaken the hardcover format. Amazon.com customers now purchase more Kindle books than hardcover books-astonishing when you consider that we've been selling hardcover books for 15 years, and Kindle books for 33 months."

A Case Against Paperless: Your Bank, Your Credit Cards, Your Cell:
Matt Swain at InfoBlog put together a nice little, personal example of why surrending to the marketing pressures, and "turning off" his paper billing, may not be a good thing.I know all the "big iron" folks have for years watched the clicks tumble as more and more utility and credit card customers decide to recieve bills and statements via email.
Sounds like a good deal, right?
Supply your bank your email addy and expect a bill or reminder to find its way to your inbox.
