If Oprah told her devoted followers to jump off a bridge, they would be dumb enough to do it. I don’t buy books that she recommends, I don’t have to vote for someone she endorses, because she does not speak for me.

Sorry you had to get a code from the Oprah site (which was “OPRAHWINFREY” by the way, without the quotes) and plug it in during the checkout process. I remember I entered it in a box that was for “coupon” codes. It worked and I got the $50 discount.

Well now it’s official. The Oprah site has posted actual links to the Kindle and you can get $50 off the purchase price of a Kindle by typing OPRAHWINFREY in the checkout pipeline at Amazon (through November 1st). I bet that’ll move some units!

Wireless Access with Whispernet™

Whispernet utilizes Amazon’s optimized technology plus SPRINT’s national high-speed (EVDO) data network to enable you to wirelessly search, discover, download, and read content on the go.

Unlike WiFi, you don’t have to find a hotspot. Amazon pays for Kindle’s wireless connectivity so you will never see a monthly wireless bill for shopping the Kindle Store. There is no wireless setup—you are ready to shop, purchase and read right out of the box.

Note: There is no wireless coverage available currently on SPRINT’s data network for Kindle in Montana and Alaska.

lolol @ Jim…I’m sure she’ll show other gadgets but the Kindle’s days of being in stock are over as of this post. Opera has more fanboys/fangirls than all of Jobs Co. put together so Amazon is probably going to be shut down for the weekend.

So now that Oprah has announced her pick for electronic gadget, can we expect her to never showcase another opposing electronic gadget on her show now? She is a racist ya know…

One rumor mill was even saying Oprah would be rocking the Kindle 2.0 today. pure and utter speculation, though.

Maybe it’s a scam to move the rest of the first generation Kindles before… ah, nevermind!

Oprah could say PBR is her favorite beer and that would be the best selling beer of 08′!!!

That sounds so sad that the Kindle will be backordered for so long after tomorrow’s show, yet it’ll be so true.

Unless Amazon’s prepared with an overstock. Still–judging from her popularity, one should definitely get a Kindle YESTERDAY.
