Is Bezos wearing the exact same suit in all three interviews?
Throughtout his interview, neither Charlie nor Bezos once mentioned the fact that Sony had already introduced e-book more than a year ago. The only difference is that Sony's doesn't download book wirelessly. It was intellectually dishonest of Jeff Bezos not to have given credit to Sony for this innovation, and for Charlie Rose not to have caught this blatant ignorance of facts. Jeff Bezos owes it to his customers and to his company to correct the facts.
Most interesting!: Mr. Rose, your superb science series demonstrates the accelorating pace in the varied fields you have covered so far. But, this is not limited to the pure and applied sciences (medicine, biology, physics, chemistry, and...). The speed of change affects so many aspects of our lives. I found Mr. Bezos of Amazon.com to be a harbinger of all the unexpected advances and changes that will continue to occur, improve our lives and even totally suprise us. If only we didn't still have the destructive genes that have been carried in us for the milennia that may not permit the realization of these exciting developments and the continuance of the human condition -- which to my mind is presently in a quite tenuous state! I remeberseeing a copy of the NY Times from before the turn to the 20th century -- its price was 3 cents. A few years later it was one penny. Why? An advancement in the process of producing the paper. Mr. Bezos seems to have carried his device much further.
