Amazon Kindles Sales as Readers Demand Novels OnlineBy Gillian Wee writing on Bloomberg.com
July 10 (Bloomberg) -- Donald Graham, chief executive officer of Washington Post Co., travels almost every week and says he hardly ever leaves home without his Kindle digital book reader from Amazon.com Inc.
``I have found it to be a very easy way to read,'' said Graham, 63, who recently read Steve Coll's ``The Bin Ladens'' on the black, white and gray screen and uses the device to access Kindle editions of the company's Newsweek and Slate publications. ``I read a lot of books on flights and on downtime. I've got a bad shoulder and it can add a lot of weight to your suitcase.''
