Default Re: Kindle: Amazon\'s new wireless reading device

It seems that no one has mentioned that because Amazon is the largest online book retailer, the Kindle does not have to make a profit on its own for it to be a smart move. Right now Amazon is probably hoping to develop its portal for selling ebooks and to push the technology for ebook readers. I read in some article that the supplier of the Kindle's eink tech already has a color display prototype. I imagine they are also developing higher res versions as well.
