e-books
Customer: So, when are you going to stock the Kindle?
Me: *blinks*
Customer: You know the Kindle. Everyone's got one. You should really carry them here.
Me: Sir, we'll never carry the Kindle. It's exclusive to Amazon.
Customer: That's absurd. You're missing out on them. Isn't there a buyer for your company who can get them on your shelves?
This went on for about 5 minutes before he huffed out, still convinced we were stupid for not carrying them. Anyone else had to handle an e-book question, or looked into a Kindle competitor? I know e-book purchases grown close to 110% month-to-month, but I've only seen one Kindle since they were released (and the woman didn't really like it, but had it for work).
