Yes, they know. They can make money off the other ones.

Unfortunately, their book selection is absolute rubbish. Every book I want to have on me at all times isn’t available, and after talking to an Amazon rep, many of them may never be available due to copyright issues.
The Kindle has issues. Enough issues to really put me off from owning one (having used it for several hours in a test run). I can’t consider dropping this much money on something that just doesn’t meet basic expectations I have.

for someone like me who doesnt really like the whole drive to the library spend hours looking for a book and realizing the dont have it and having to wait for the book i want, this seems like an excellent idea. I read about this, and it seems finaminal. But you would still have the classic library of course. Once again, I like this idea. Thats just one girl’s opinion though.

Do these people know that it can’t be possible to eliminate the paper books industry active worldwide since millenniums ago?
Also, do these people know that many, many, many people, far more than those interested, will never look at new technology with an eye of interest?

Oh my God! What will be the next new technology? The portable toilet?
