The Kindle is listed as a best-seller, but in a different subcategory of `electronics'.

Not to downplay whatever success the WikiReader is seeing, though--I got one, myself, and I'm very impressed by and happy with it; a few of my technically-minded friends have remarked critically, merely on a conceptual basis, but those who have actually seen it (especially the `normal people') have responded very positively. It's really not evident just how profound the device is until you find yourslef amongst friends who are trying to remember the details of something of which you've never even heard, and then suddenly `you're the expert' in the group. My first experience with this: a couple of friends were trying to make sense of their memories of `trying to read' Nikolai Gogol's book, `Dead Souls'..., and there it was in my WikiReader--suddenly I was an expert on the book (the big question was `what was the point of the protagonist's scheme to buy already-dead serfs who counted as taxable property for him'; the answer was `he was going to retire by *mortgaging* them'). My wife and I received a `this is what the mercaptan additive in Natural gas smells like' scratch-and-sniff in the mail from the local gas-supply company, the other day, and I was able to instantly start a conversation with my wife, in our kitchen, about the history behind these odour-additives (and this history turns out to be quite an amazing story, actually). We're having amazing experiences like this semi-regularly, thanks to this device. People do say `$100 seems a little expensive', but then they concede that maybe it /isn't/ so expensive when reminded that just an 8-GB micro-SD card by itself retails for as much as $50 (and I note that more simplistic devices than the WikiReader, on that Amazon list--like the Scrabble-dictionary--also sell for $50+...). After actually having the profoundly-wowing `instant expert' experience a few times, it becomes easy to accept that the device as being worth $100, even though it's terribly difficult to `just explain it' to someone who has the perspective of `well, *I* already have a $500 device with a $100-per-*month* subscription and a favourable location that alows *me* to be connected to the Internet all the time, anything that doesn't provide wireless real-time updates and *news* with updated charts and graphs has all the appeal of the Pet Rock'. I guess I should post this on Amazon's review-page for the device Regarding the Amazon best-seller list per se: I'm not sure that I'm entirely clear on what exactly Amazon's `bestseller' rating means-- is the `current ranking' just based on the rate of sales per hour, averaged over the last 1 hour?

You should be able to post a review on Amazon. I bought mine directly from the Wikireader site, as you did, and had no problem posting a review. You may need to log in to Amazon before you try to post.

Hi Pieter First off, thanks for the kind words! On Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 7:27 AM, Pieter Colpaert freep...@gmail.com wrote: Alright! Good one Sean co! Even people I've never talked about openmoko to about, have heard the news. Any reactions from openmoko (Sean or anyone else?) on the success? We're feeling so good it's hard to explain. The Associated Press writeup was huge for us. And the Amazon sales numbers... well, those are hard to believe. Personally I'm feeling refresh again (we've had a difficult last 12 months). Probably taking the morning off to surf helped, too :) I hope openmoko does not see this as a victory, but as a new start for a healthy company and a door for new (open/free) opportunities. We have so many ideas that build on the work we started with the phones. So the fact that WikiReader is looking good so far is great news. But like you said, it's only a start. We need to bring these open / access ideals to more and more people. Please help us if you have time. We'd love to see more language support for the WikiReader. Or just spread the word when you can. Building consumer products is extremely expensive. We need to sell a lot to keep our independence. And that's so important for everything that we stands for and want to become. -Sean ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I do not doubt the value of the device, though it's of no use for me until I get a international version (Hungarian, German), for my kids - or even better a version supporting images, for myself. :-) However I find it a bit miss-placed between the other PDAs as they have very little in common, beyond the ability to display pages from Wikipedia. And I'm still under the impression that the other devices are fairly outdated. There are 8 devices produced by Palm between the first 25. And there is also a Siemens Flip Phone (i doubt it's PDA capabilities). Siemens sold it's mobile business to BenQ ages ago and even BenQ abandoned it for a couple of years now. Again, this is not criticism on the Wikireader but rather questioning the Amazon Bestseller List as such.

Alright! Good one Sean co! Even people I've never talked about openmoko to about, have heard the news. Any reactions from openmoko (Sean or anyone else?) on the success? I hope openmoko does not see this as a victory, but as a new start for a healthy company and a door for new (open/free) opportunities.
