Best Buy to Start Selling Kindle This Fall

Sure, the Kindle is available at Target and Staples, but with the addition of Amazon’s popular device to its lineup this fall, Best Buy will be the only retailer to sell all three leading e-readers. Consumers will be able to handle and compare Sony’s Reader devices, Barnes & Noble’s Nook and Amazon’s Kindle side by side, and the store will support its expanded lineup with prominent in-store displays.

    I’m not convinced that reading on machines is a good thing. Has anyone done the math yet about the power that will need to be generated to use these things? Yes, books require paper to be produced, but they don’t need to be plugged into a wall and recharged? I’m not understanding how reading on machines is helpful to the environment.

    The move to digital media was a good thing for the environment, but electricity consumption would have to skyrocket to support all these new reading machines.

About Voices

This is a section of the AllThingsD Web site featuring posts that have been curated from around the Web: pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Five posts are included here each weekday, but only the headline and the first two sentences. We link to the original site for the rest. The section is explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that content comes “from other Web sites.”

We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions. Voices is edited by Beth Callaghan.
