My Kindle Marketing Plan

I have come to the conclusion that Amazon needs me...bad. I bought a Kindle2 earlier this year and don't plan to buy a DTB (dead tree book) ever again. Yeah well, we won't go into the list of my previous declarations but I do love my K2. I discovered early on that if I am out in public all I have to do is open my K2 and all of a sudden I am everybody's newest bestest friend which is great unless you really want to read or your doctor is more interested in discussing the Kindle than why your cholesterol won't go down no matter how much flippin' oatmeal you eat or miles you walk. The conversation usually goes like this: "I hate to bother you...BUT is that a Kindle?" "Do you like it?" "Do you miss the feel of a book?" You can tell they are just dying to get their hands on my Kindle and see how it works soooo once again I do Amazon's work for them and sell another Kindle2. Have I received even a thank you note from Amazon? Noooooo! Not even a phone call on my birthday. OK, here is my plan. All I have to do is buy another K2. I will leave it in the original packaging and use mine as a demo which I do already so no biggie. I figure by the time I finish my sales pitch and my newest bestest friend is in a K2 purchase frenzy I can whip out the new K2 and sell it right there on the spot. I was on four flights over the Thanksgiving holiday and seriously...I could have sold at least two K2's. Well, I have to go now as I just know Jeff Bezo's is trying to reach me.

I have missed you. I had the same conversation with my Dr on the Kindle and had to show him some features. That is funny.......
Good to have you back

Jan-I missed you too-especially your sense of humor : )

I was the person asking about a kindle this past weekend. A gentlemen had tagged along with his wife to a craft show. I saw him sitting there and couldn't wait to ask him-he loves his too. Before the day was over I saw many folks asking him about it. I told him he should have brought some to sell.

Thank you Tipper, it's good to be back and have missed hearing from all my blogger friends. Your girls are so pretty and I know you are proud of them.

I guess you understand how my Kindle marketing plan works and I really think Amazon is missing out on a good deal by not utilizing my talents. :-)
