ok, mac! i'm glad you finally have your number! :+)

i'm not sure what _good_ it does you... (oh heck,
why feign ignorance here? i know it doesn't do you
one speck of good, _except_ it satisfies that awful
itch your curiosity has had, to *know* the number.)

so... if it helps to excite you even more, the people
from sony told me they've kept even with the kindle,
according to their spies in the e-ink screen industry.
(but that was last summer, pre-oprah-endorsement.)

of more importance to the publishers, however, is
how many e-books have been sold, and the edge
there has been extremely clear for a very long time,
according to the black mask man david moynihan...
it's kindle head-and-shoulders above everyone else.

now, about that iphone... ;+)

p.s. actually, the stanza people are basically neglecting
their desktop versions to concentrate solely on the iphone,
in case that tells you anything. i thought it was interesting.

@bowerbird: You're absolutely right -- this number really doesn't do anything beyond satisfying that weird frustration I've had about *lack* of numbers. Beyond that, it really doesn't mean anything -- and I'm looking forward to putting this number ambiguity behind me ;)

Unfortunately, due to Canadian online content laws, the Kindle nor the Reader is available here. It's BS (beyond stupid!) I can't wait to get one though . . . sigh.
