Title: Amazon is just a landing page for the new Kindle Fire today.
Post by: thesaintv12 on September 10, 2012, 04:54:19 PM

Talk about promote your product!  I wonder how many units they will shift by pushing just the one product on the home page?

They seem to have got the timing just right too.  No new iDevice at the moment, Windows tablets not due for a couple of months.

I am a happy original Kindle user (and early Amazon customer).  I won't buy a Fire because I really like eink screens for reading and don't want to watch films etc on a small screen. Has anyone seen one?  Is there any oportunity to make money there at all?

That 8.9" one is approaching ipad pricing. 

The tablet space seems like a mess to me with the constant hardware updates, multiple systems to build for and the vertical marketing within these products.  I think it would be a tough place for a little guy to figure out how to make cash from other than just making sure your sites are compatible.
