Yesterday’s news that the sold-out Kindle is going for upwards of $1500 on eBay got me scratching my head. I think we paid less than that for a full set of paper-based Encyclopedia Brittanica at one point many moons ago. For $1500, I’d consider buying a full fledged UMPC or small Tablet PC to read eBooks on and do a multitude of other tasks, but I’m biased. ;)If you’ve still got a fire burning for the Kindle (affiliate link), you might want to flex your design muscles and hit up MobileRead. They’re looking for a new logo and the prize is one Amazon Kindle. You have until the end of this month to get your entry (or entries) in, so don’t wait! If you already have a Kindle and want to add five or so bestsellers to your device, you can just enter a new tag-line for MobileRead. The best and catchiest one nets $50.
