Senior Vice President – Amazon Kindle

Interview starts at 18:20

We have made an experience that has helped people feel actually like they’re getting real value to pay seven, eight, nine,  ten bucks for text in the form of bits. And we think that’s actually a tremendous accomplishment. We’re proud that Kindle’s played a role in making that possible. People feel great about the value they get and for booksellers and publishers and authors there’s a real long-term business model and a real long-term ability to earn a living at their craft.
