A very good article about the future of the Kindle ereader.
Things are not as they seem at Amazon.

So kindles lose money and the content is the key to Amazon's profitability.
However with competition from Google and Microsoft / Barnes and Noble on the way it may be more difficult for Amazon to corner the market.
The other point raised is something I agree with strongly. e-ink is in decline. Why by an ereader when a Tablet PC (from Google, Samsung, Apple or Microsoft) is not much more expensive and has more functionality?
It is a shame, but its a sign of the times I am afraid.
