The result shows a great way ahead for online business and growth in the economy. Though its been decade long revolution of Internet Business, the hardware infrastructure wasn’t really right for the business to prosper. But with the rise of smartphones and eReader sales, we may be seeing new boost in the online economy.
On the other hand, Nook and Sony’s eReader seemed to have missed the biggest opportunity due the delay in their production line. Nook and eReaders, had a high demand initially, but I guess they just have to wait for their production line, currently Kindle is taking all the shares.
