I am the Lord, who opened a way through the waters, making a dry path through the sea.
(Isaiah 43:16 – New Living Translation)
I'm praying for the proverbial sea to be parted today. Whether God does or doesn't, it's good to be reminded that He can. If He doesn't, still I trust Him. Our God is an awesome God. With wisdom and power, He reigns. Never forget, or never be afraid, to call on Him:
"…you refuse to ask for my help. You have grown tired of me!" (Isaiah 43:22 – NLT)
Let that not be said of us.
I will be praying with you. Much love.

Mark, Amazon announced after the hoilday that they had sold more than 10 million Kindle 3s, it being their best selling product ever. That makes total Kindle sales to date (including older models) probably in excess of 12 million. There’s still a lot more iPads than Kindles, though.Now, I’ve got a question This is all about having the Kindle app on the Apple app store, right? I mean, Apple can’t stop folks from going to Amazon and downloading the app there? Or can they?If Amazon simply pulls their app from the Apple store, and continues letting people download the app from Amazon.com like they already have been, then I think there will be some loss of sales, but not a ton. Among other little stats I saw recently, 2/3 of iPad owners polled either already had a Kindle or planned to buy one within the next six months. Apple’s ebook store is not doing so well, and I can’t imagine Apple users, who have invested hundreds of dollars in Kindle books, being thrilled at Apple trying to strongarm them into an epub based system that doesn’t work as well as the Kindle site.I’ve also been reading that Kindle software will be installed automatically on most of the new tablets coming out this year. Couple dozen different new tablet computers coming out, each about as powerful as the iPad for less money. Might not knock Apple out of the top tablet seat, but will definitely cut into their expansion.So my best guess would be that we see:- Apple remove the Kindle app from their app store, as they should have from day one.- Amazon continue encouraging iOS users to download the app from their site instead. They’ll get less downloads, and lose some sales, but the Kindle package is already known by Apple users as the best reader software for iOS, so I think sales will not dip too much.- iOS users will either buy using the app from Amazon, or buy from iBooks if they can’t be bothered to go download the Amazon app. Amazon loses some percent of sales, Apple gains some percent.- Publishers are not impacted, because they are not going to tell Amazon oh yes, you can pay us 30% less per book . Ain’t gonna happen.- Writers will not be impacted for the same reason. Self-publishing royalty will stay as-is for now, at least. Might see sales on iBooks go up a tad faster and Amazon sales not grow as quickly, but that will be hard to spot behind the general wild growth of the entire market.- I don’t *think* Smashwords will be impacted. Here’s why not: they are acting as a publisher for all their users, on iBooks. They take your book, bring it to iBooks, and they get 70% back from Apple on each sale. Then they take their 10%, and give the author 60%. Yes, you’d earn more per sale if you went direct to Apple, but Smashwords counts on the convenience of doing it for you to get users.My guesses.
