Jeff Bezos and David Kirkpatrick on Stage

July 22nd, 2008

By Kyle Austin

The second speaker / panel is underway at Brainstorm: TECH with a Q&A between David Kirkpatrick and Jeff Bezos of Amazon. A few quotes from Jeff that I picked up below:

• I love the fact that I can read one-handed (With the Kindle). As soon as you read with the Kindle for awhile it’s hard to go back to a regular book. It’s also a lot quieter to read with the kindle when you’re laying next to your spouse in bed.
• I believe that we are at the dawn of a new industry with the Kindle.
• We had a microwave oven that would beep every minute until I turned it off. I called it a self-important device.
