Amazon.ca Now Sells Consumer Electronics
I missed this news last week. Thanks RJO. I particularly love the Onion-esque line from Amazon’s press release:
A new survey finds that 79 per cent of Canadians dislike crowded shopping malls during the
holiday season, and try to avoid them.
Hmm. That 21% are the same people that love going to the dentist.
This is great news, in that it indicates, Amazon is still investing in Canada. There was a couple years there when it seemed they had three guys running the show. So it is a great pointer. The Kindle is after all a consumer electronic device and launching the MP3 store would be arguably less complicated than shipping new skus. Fingers crossed.
