They should sell it…be a great way to see buying habits of the iPad users. Once they start getting calls for defect that Apple will not admit to it being there…they can plaster it all over the internet….”keep your friends close and your enemies closer” – The Godfather Part II

do a search for “ipad” and the 10th and 13th options that come up are the kindle (on march 21st)

I’m hoping it will be possible to also buy books from Amazon for the iPad. Amazon will be better served if they remember they are in the razor blade business, not razors.

if the kindle app ships for the iPad, then i don’t see why amazon would have a problem with it.

I’d say it’ll be available awhile after release. That’s the usual case with Amazon.

Actually, they will be carrying the iPad. No idea if it will be available right away on April 3rd or not.

Amazon already has the page up: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPad-Tablet-16GB-Wifi/dp/B002C7481G

At least initially, the iPad only seems to be available directly from Apple (online or retail store) Although I believe I did read somewhere that after initial launch it would be available through the normal iPod authorized sources.

A quick check of MacMall and MacConnection shows the same thing — accessories but no iPad pre-ordering. I’m thinking they can’t pre-order and will offer it on the 3rd. Until other online retailers offer it and Amazon doesn’t, I think it’s too early to cry conspiracy.
