Re: Amazon Wants To Give A Free Kindle To All Amazon Prime Subscribers
#2I was sort of on the edge about renewing my Prime subscription AND about getting a Kindle, but if they gave me a free Kindle I'd be back on Prime (and ordering from Amazon again) in a second.

#3It was fairly clear to me that after it's "breaking news: Jason Calacanis has an iPad" stories and this nonsense that TechCrunch just makes stuff up to get views. Arrington is to Early Adopters what Ann Coulter is to conservatives. He figures out just what it is that you want it to hear-- truth or not-- and tells it to you.

I should state that not all conservatives fall for Ann Coulter's nonsense, just as not all early adopters fall for Arrington's nonsense either.

#5Oh nice! If so, then I'm glad I signed up for Amazon Prime. I'm still getting an iPad, though :D

#6I'm a Prime customer, and I love it. I buy way more on Amazon than I used to, and I find it very convenient. It pays for itself on Christmas shopping alone.
This could be a smart move. I've often thought about a Kindle, but never really wanted one bad enough to shell out for it (although I'm pretty sure I'll get the iPad). Dropping one in my lap, knowing that I spend a lot of money on Amazon, could be a very smart move for Amazon to make. Maybe I'll love the Kindle, use it a ton, buy a ton of books, and show all my friends.

#7All Amazon is doing is making people buy the iPad 2.0 or 3.0.

So Arrington is the neo-con of tech reporters?

#9Kindle and Prime are both things I already kinda want, but haven't pulled the trigger on. I'd go for this in an instant.

Saying that Ann Coulter is a neo-con is like saying Bozo the Clown is an acclaimed stage performer. While her message is conservative themed, her tactic isn't to espouse conservatism, but rather to get people to read her column.
The same's to be said for Arrington. It's a problem that all journalism has: the facts and what's popular usually don't mix.
