How could it be any other way? The Kindle starts with no books. People already own paperbacks. To fill up a Kindle requires buying Kindle books. To fill up a bookshelf requires nothing as most people who read already have full bookshelves.
- gjm11 16y agoIf people are buying books to fill up the available space then you're right. If people are buying books to read them then you probably aren't. I'd guess that most people are buying books to read them.
- DanielStraight 16y agoMy own experience with devices that can be filled up leads me to believe that there will always be an initial increase in buying rate because of the newness and emptiness of the device. The rate at which you buy books to read can vary. If it increases, that doesn't mean you're buying books just to fill up a device. You're still buying them to read, just faster. I would imagine people who get a brand new device for reading likely increase their reading time too.
