I’ve been wondering what you’ve been wondering about the Kindle 2.0 release date and the Kindle out of stock fiasco. So I thought I’d throw in a couple Kindle 2.0 polls to see what we all think.
The first poll is about the reason behind the Kindle being out of stock. If you feel there’s another choice that should be put in, let me know and I’ll add it in.
I’ve left out some of the borderline possibilities.
The second poll is about when you think Kindle 2.0 and KindleText are going to come out. That creates some rather interesting combinations -
Looking forward to seeing what you think. Do leave a comment if you feel something’s missing. I do feel we’ll see Kindle 2.0 in Feb and have no idea when Kindle’s Textbook variant will come out.

What’s missing
is the human capacity
for taking a small number of facts
and doing endless speculation
And speaking of that
I think Kindle 2.0
will be put off
several times more
as the technology
and the competition increases
But!
Look for a software update or two
And if 2.0 comes out
in the form suggested by the rumors
I hope its software upgrade
works on my original
The business of business is to make a profit. Therefore, I see Amazon making changes to Kindle in small increments rather than a nearly different product. Some people will buy the latest model, no matter what. If it’s profitable, Amazon may offer a “trade-in” program, or sell upgrades to Kindle software. I don’t understand why Kindle has two sets of controls; one on the left and one on the right. Probably to appeal to lefties. But, everyone turns book pages from the right side — even lefties! So why did they make it difficult to hold the Kindle when left side controls don’t serve a useful purpose. Was it bureaucratic power over design engineering?
