Amazon Kindle Endorsed By Oprah

Posted by kdawson on from the you-could-pay-to-read-slashdot dept.

Oprah Winfrey enthused about the Amazon Kindle on her show today — it's her "new favorite thing" — and had Jeff Bezos on to announce a $50-off offer good till Nov. 1. A plug on Oprah is ordinarily a sign that a product has crossed over into the mainstream. But her show's audience has been slipping lately, and it's unclear how many cash-strapped citizens will be willing to part with $309 (after the special offer) for a new techno-gadget, for which they then have to shell out more money for DRM-encrusted content.

    You mean that stupid fat negro who was trolled into saying OVER 9000 PENSIS ARE RAPING CHILDREN on her pathetic tv show?

    The fat negro has no credibility left after that - thats if she had any to begin with.

    It just goes to show, even if you are the town bike when you are 6 years old, you too can go on to host your own TV show and feed products to the unwashed masses.
