The month of November was a sweet one for the Amazon Kindle as the e-book reader posted its best sales month ever. The Kindle is the best selling electronics product on Amazon right now and hits the top spot as the most gifted and most wished for device. Seriously. With the Barnes & Noble Nook missing in action and Sony’s lineup of e-book readers still lacking wireless connectivity, the Kindle is the only game in town for the casual consumer looking to get in on the e-book explosion. It also doesn’t hurt that Amazon brought the Kindle down to a more reasonable $259 price point and added in that much requested international wireless connectivity.  Somebody has to be buying all these Kindles, so ‘fess up, will there be a Kindle in your stocking this holiday season?

    Wake me when they have a non-proprietary book format that I can take to other devices if the Kindle goes cover-up.

    the screen is too small for long readings on the iPhone that’s why I could only read for maybe 1/2 hr. tops. Still, it’s nice to have and it’s free anyway.

    I can’t imagine why anyone would want one of these knowing good and well that Amazon WILL take back the books that you “buy” should they feel a need to. Yes, remote into “your” unit without your knowledge and remove it from the unit. They have the technology to do it and worse – they proved that they can and will do it.

    Heck, even Apple doesn’t do things like that.

      Haven’t really heard anything about that happening, although they have that capability. If they did do it, the Kindle would be short lived. Why would they want to sabotage their own product especially if it starting to be successful. So far, I’m lovin’ my Kindle2 and I can always re-download my books thats in the archive.

    I must confess I bought one for a earl xmas gift for myself. I Really wanted a B&N Nook, but it keeps on getting delayed. Just got m Kindle today and I really like it.

    Amazon’s front page proclaims that the Kindle is their bestselling, most wished for, and most gifted product. Given the amount of traffic Amazon must receive on a daily basis, I find those statistics somewhat odd. I rarely see Kindles being used in public, whether it’s on a train, a coffee shop, or wherever else might be ideal for reading. Are people only using Kindles in their own homes? And why would that be the case?
