Kindle student initiative? Plus some skepticism about the blockbuster numbers
A student-targeted Kindle initiative from Amazon?
We’ve heard that before, and the Silicon Valley Insider site passes on a Seattle newspaper report indicating it’s so.
In a related vein, the word is that the K machine is doing well, but not to the extent that a Citigroup analyst and others have speculated.
So what are the numbers? They’re still a mystery. Is this SEC territory? I don’t know. But Amazon is a publicly traded company and really needs to be more open with its investors. Future sales are hard to predict. But how about the past?

But HG, Amazon has said e-books will be the future. Let’s see ‘em quantify the results so far. Thanks. David
