Does Anyone Know if Amazon Kindle is a Success?

We are about to format some of our publications for Kindle but wonder if this is a good idea. We can not seem to find information on Kindle sales. Is it as hot as Amazon says? What is the future of Kindle?

Economic Predictions

Sunday Surfing

I learned about low cost housing around the world  and the fall of the US economy. Both topics interest me. There are some very creative people and organizations coming up with new ideas to make houses more affordable for the poor. A Columbian invented a device to ram earth into bricks and the idea has spread around the world. Also spreading is the fear of a recession in the USA.

I am sure the US is printing money money like crazy  trying to  stall a  natural down cycle but it is inevitable. So get ready for the double wammy. Usually economic predictions are mostly wrong but this time all the expert who are predicting recession plus inflation are right.

If you are a writer you can hunker down with a good internet connection and build a low cost house out of clay and survive. Chillifreeze will soon be launching WriteMatch to match freelancers with projects.

Also on CF is my new blog Quest to Sell 1000 eBooks. Don't miss it if you want to learn how to make money online.
