You know, if Target sells just 100-200 per store, they will probably have equaled, or surpassed, Amazon's total Kindle sales for the year. btw, they just started selling Sony Readers in the UK, too.

Of course the pics are bad. They were taken with one of those $20 digicams you see in blister packs in Virgin MegaStore and chain drugstores. Not even a viewfinder! Plus, I happened to drop it once, so since then I can't get a properly-centered picture to save my life. Thanks for the link and the hugely funny post.
