Really Amazon? Really? That's the SNL skit you would get if SNL were nerdier.
I’m not going to make a big to do about this because I think the jury is pretty much out on Amazon’s earth-unshattering announcement yesterday that they would open up the Kindle for app development. And that jury is like “WTFTW?” And then the judge is like “hey, STFU with that bung tongue.” And no, that judge is not Diablo Cody.
The IM convo I had with one of my main boys below sums it up as far as I’m concerned. You’re grasping at straws, Amazon. Give your customers (and investors for that matter) some credit — case in point: stop sending out emails on how to properly “install” your Kindle cover (see second image below). They are not as retarded as you think, and apps on the Kindle are not kidding anyone. Just ask your PDF-viewing and web browsing functions — they are sad, lonely and underused.
Also, get ready, because your ship just may crash into a skinny fruit-shaped iceberg wearing jeans and a black mock turtleneck next Wednesday.
