This 'book' is really nothing more than a customer review of the Kindle. It claims that Amazon was generating hype about the device by purposely limiting the initial supply, does some brief prognostications about the future of the device and how self-publishing of fluff pieces like this will proliferate with the Kindle.

Note: you can't download a free sample of this 'book' because it is shorter than a typical Kindle sample.

Save a dollar and read the customer reviews instead.

It is an extraordinary waste of time to read a review by somebody who does not own/use a Kindle. I have had mine since Dec 10, 2007, have hundreds of books, magazines and blogs on there, take my Kindle with me everywhere including business travel, and spend hours a day reading multiple books on my Kindle.
It is frankly insulting to be told that the 'Kindle will fail' by an ignorant non-owner/user, when I have logged the hundreds of hours that I have on my Kindle and sincerely believe that the Kindle will NOT fail- evidenced by the probably 15 other people who I have shown mine to and who have subsequently ordered one for their very own! And not a one has come back and told me that I misled them. Don't even wast your time unless you just have a negative orientation and you really like to slam things that you know little or nothing about. As Lincoln said, paraphrased- "It is far better to keep your mouth shut than to talk and remove any doubt about your ignorance."

I actually purchased this book to simply evaluate what the author had to say about something he seemed to be informed about. However, the author admits that he has never haed a kindle, abd it seems like he is basing his opinions on brief overviews that do not comr close to ezplaining all of the features: however, some of his observations are partially correct. Sure you can buy a dictionary seperate, but once you come across a few words on a page that you dont understand, you will truely appreciatee the speed at which you xan find definiyions with minimal effort. amother invalid observation is that the kindle only crawls across the internet; it is faster than dial up and free so why complain? i simply believe the author wrote this book as a cheap trick to get you to spend your money on something tyhat will surely@attract your attention.
Simply put, i took the time to write this review to tell you that there is no truth to this article,and to not waste your money on it.

I want to write reviews of things I don't know anything about, so I am practicing by writing a review of Rick's "book" on the subject of The Kindle, not only without owning a Kindle, (apparently, like the author,) but also without reading the review. Pretty cool, huh?

Please send me a dollar for reading this. Thanks!

Does anyone find it even remotely funny that this "book" is about the Kindle's failure and yet it is only available on Kindle?

I am writing a review on something I have only read other people's reviews on ... much like this author. Hey, works for him right?

Please send me a dollar.

The guy doesn't OWN a Kindle, yet he blasts it and THEN has the nerve to ask people to PAY to read his uninformed, ignorant OPINION about something he has never even touched, much less owned.

The only "Fail" here is some idiot writing an opinion piece on something he knows less than nothing about and then trying to get suckers to pay a dollar to read his drivel.

Haven't read this "book", but doesn't it seem a little strange to anyone else that you'd write a book bashing the kindle that is published for the kindle?

I likewise have no plans to purchase this. But if the guy who's hawking it has a scheme to get folks to cough up $0.99 for a peek at such dribble, I'd say that's a plan...even if his book only has the words "na-na-na-nah-nah!" written it it.

This book is an Example of Dumnuts that think they can write a good review much less a book so this is why i say really Rick Epic Fail
