Comentário perfeito

Trecho de resenha sobre o Kindle, no site da Amazon:

"I do not have a quarrel with the price of the Kindle. Amazon did their market research and came up with a price that they obviously thought their target market would pay. I paid it. As all well know, the Kindle sold out quickly. People on Ebay are paying $1,000.00 for the Kindle in order to have it for Christmas.

I enjoy those `negative Nellies' (to quote Ned Flanders) who write that Amazon overpriced the Kindle and hence those running Amazon are greedy idiots. I guess they imagined the following scene having occurred on the day of the Kindle's debut:

(Clerk, running into Jeff Bezos' office): "Sir, the 20,000 initial run of Kindle units sold out within six hours!"

(Jeff Bezos, jumping out of chair in alarm): "Great Scott! We must have overpriced it!" "
