Maybe this should be taken with a pinch of salt, but experts predict that in the foreseeable future Amazon's hugely popular E-reader the Kindle will be free. John Walkenbach's chart (below) tracks the price falls of the Kindle as Amazon discounts the price and then predicts (if price cuts continue in the same manner) that the Kindle will be priced at £0.00 by the end of the year.
Of course, a four-point chart isn't the most compelling evidence but tech blogger Kevin Kelly remains optimistic.
Armed with the chart he claims to have- "mentioned the forecast to all kinds of folks."
He then continued- "In August, 2010 I had the chance to point it out to Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon. He merely smiled and said, 'Oh, you noticed that!' And then smiled again."
It wouldn't be as crazy as it may seem for Amazon to dish out their hardware for free. With E-book sales already sky-high this move would keep Amazon firmly at the top of the electronic book market.
What do you think- probable or not?
