There is an interesting article by Jeff Perlow of ZDNet that talks about the demise of the Kindle due to the unveiling of the new iPad.  Because the iPad is a multi-function device, he questions how the Kindle can remain a viable and profitable one-function product.  I don’t think a one-function product is a bad thing but whether it is economical for Amazon to continue to produce it remains to be seen.  If you think an easy-to-use one-function product is for you, watch the Kindle–you may be able to purchase one at a lower price in the not-too-distant future.
