Walmart carries that, so some percentage of Microsoft's sales are going through Walmart and not Amazon. It's available at other retail outlets as well. My point is that 100% of the Kindle sales are done on Amazon.com; that's not the case with the other product you mention, right? So, while commenting may be relatively low on those other products, sales of them on Amazon.com may also be low compared to each product's total sales across all channels/outlets.<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying this math is perfect, of course, but I do think this factor comes into play.Joe Wikerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02898067591293359566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338977976954280982.post-35597082420639732522007-12-11T12:15:00.000-05:002007-12-11T12:15:00.000-05:00Your post sounds kinda logical until you go and lo...Your post sounds kinda logical until you go and look at how many comments there are on other devices. If you check the best-selling MP3 players, for example, the various iPod nano models have fewer than 150 comments each, the iPod touch has only 92 comments. Even the original Zune, which was very controversial yet sold far more than you project here, has only 985 comments...There appears to be no correlartion between sales and number of comments, even for controversial, hyped up products.amphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01546756584295738972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338977976954280982.post-28020483231066130412007-12-10T09:34:00.000-05:002007-12-10T09:34:00.000-05:00Hi Joe,Great observation about the paid beta Kindl...Hi Joe,<BR/>Great observation about the paid beta Kindle. I agree totally and suspect this goes on with every new product and that is why I never buy the first version. I wait for the improved, enhanced version and sometimes it's lower priced.
