Amazon 1st qtr earnings/net sales grow

Wall St. Journal reports Jeff Bezos' press conference detailing very positive 1st quarter results yesterday at a time when companies all around are not doing so well.  To a question about Kindle plans and whether Amazon will "unleash" their computing power to compete more with netbooks, Bezos replied:
"We think reading is an important enough activity that it deserves a purpose-built device. That's really a sweet spot for us."

NOTE: TO AVOID SPAM being posted instantly, this blog uses the blogger.com "DELAY" feature.

Am often away much of the day, and postings won't show up right away. Posts done to use referrer-links may never show up.

Usually, am online enough to release comments within a day though, so the hard-to-read match-text tests for commenting won't be needed this way.

Feedback and questions are welcome. Thanks for participating.

Technical Problems?
If you're having problems leaving a Comment, Google's blogger-help asks that you clear the 'blogger.com' cookies on your browser's Tools or Options menu bar and that will fix the Comment-box problems (until they have a permanent fix).

IF that doesn't work either, then UNcheck the "keep me signed in" box -- Google-help says that should allow your comment to post (it's a workaround to a current bug).
Apologies for the problems.

TIP: There's a size limit. If longer than 3500 characters or so, in a text editor, make two posts out of it.
