Everybody and his brother are talking about ebooks. My stance is: it’s too late to be first, so you have to be better.
Are there any historical analogies to be looked at? Phonographs?
(By better, I mean, branding.)
You’ll have to have better offerings—stories or short novels of guaranteed “quality,” by which I don’t mean literary quality, but punch, drama, fun. Excitement.

I’m curious about the physical instruments themselves—Kindles, Nooks, Konos, I-Pads et.al. Is anyone doing knock-offs? I’ve heard India wants to manufacture and sell these things for ten bucks apiece. Surely someone somewhere must be doing knockoffs. I’d like to know exactly how these things operate, the nuts and bolts. If anyone knows, please let us know.

Karl, this is the first thing you gotta understand, that nobody understand, and it's why the Kindle will always be better for even reading even if the iPad is better at absolutely everything else:
