    The reason why e-readers like the Kindle or the Nook are cheaper than a normal tablet like the iPad is because they are specialized for the purpose of reading digital books, and thus lack the computing capacity as well as storage for any major actions. Take the example of the Kindle Paperwhite, one of the best selling e-readers in the market, which does not have the capacity of checking emails. Moreover, one can disable all distraction of the internet while reading e-reader. I’d like to bring into attention a personal example: My roommate Dimitri, who reads novels using the kindle religiously every night. It is highly possible for one to remove all digital distraction and engage a literary work deeply despite its…

    First, the Kindle was one of the first readers available and until its release in 2007 the market was virtually untapped. For Amazon this was a strategic move as it puts a name to these types’ devices. As compared to Xerox and the photocopier, or a Jeep to the ragtop SUV, Kindle will the brand name associated with the reading device for years to come driving more business to Amazon and if Bezos’s luck holds steady, this will only improve as the Kindle continues to develop new features in the years to come.

    1) The CEO of Amazon.com, Jeff Bezos, effectively employed both intuitive and systematic thinking when he developed the Kindle for sale. Through Bezos’s creative idea in the Kindle, one can see that he makes decisions that seem to be based off of intuitive thinking. With this approach, people make decisions according to their past experiences and gut feelings, as opposed to analyzing all of the facts. Bezos took a risk in the creation of the Kindle going off of his gut feelings that it would be a successful idea. From previous experiences, he knew that “music and video have been digitalized for a long time, and short-form reading has been digitized, beginning with the early Web. But long-form reading really hasn’t”. The company needed a push to rise above their competitor, Apple, and Bezos was able to provide a creative idea that he thought would work based off of things he has experienced. Fortunately for Amazon, his intuitive idea was a success and “Amazon now sells more Kindle books than paperback books”.…
