Reports are surfacing this week that eBay auctions of the Amazon Kindle are double the original price. While some people doubt that the quick sell-out was real, the willingness to pay twice the price suggests there is a demand for the product.
We are left wondering how many Amazon Kindles sold this year - and they will have to disclose this number eventually. Will they wait until the last minute? Will people feel tricked if the sell-out numbers are small? Will bloggers write the sarcastic "I told you so" in their blog posts?
Do you believe the lack of sales figures is an indication of a relatively small number? Do you believe that the lack of disclosure might be the downfall of the product?
I wonder if Amazon officials worry about the questioning of the number of Amazon Kindle sales. Wouldn't you?
