Bezos' attempt to rekindle interest in Kindle would suggest that the supply problems that plagued the Kindle after its launch have now been solved and Amazon is able to meet expected demand.

Bezos claimed that "major publishers have embraced Kindle," saying it offered them many advantages "Books never go out of print, and they never go out of stock. Nor is there ever waste from over-printing. Most important, Kindle makes it more convenient for readers to buy more books. Anytime you make something simpler and lower friction, you get more of it."

Just under half gave it a five star rating and a further 20 percent gave it four stars.
