The Books vs. the Kindle: Round 6: finding the right book

In round 6, see what happens when we pit the Kindle search function against a real live Green Apple bookseller. Could technology finally give the Kindle a win?

BTW, the book mentioned is Vilnius Poker, by Ricardas Gavelis. You can get it here: http://www.greenapplebooks.com/cgi-bin/mergatroid/1934824054.html

Also, the Kindle has free internet access. You're telling me that you can't find an obscure book even by using Google or Wikipedia? Come on now, guys. You're smarter than that, surely.

You might not realize it but more than 85% of just our staff favorites alone are not available as ebooks. That is just one small display in our whole store.

Amazon gives you book previews... do that with a plastic-wrapped, no-one-knows-whats-inside $100 book.

You guys suck.

@GreenAppleBooks It is not the Kindle's fault. It is the publisher's fault. They were afraid of the new technology. Fortunately, or unfortunately for this video, many publishers are allowing books on the Kindle/Nook/Sony Reader etc.

It's a first time I hear that 'Vilnius Poker' is about zombies, so no surprise that the Kindle search returned with zero results :)
