Imagine my surprise when I came home to watch Monday night&#8217;s show and &#8211; what what what!?  Jeff Bezos, founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/amazon.com\/\">Amazon.com<\/a>?  Why didn&#8217;t I know about this!?  Anyway, the interview is funny, but the Kindle doesn&#8217;t come out in the best light in this interview.  I was surprised really, because I think Jon Stewart is usually very good, but it seemed like he didn&#8217;t know much about the kindle.  I thought he would be all-up-ons this ipod-like genx technology.  He seems to be a big fan of reading, but maybe he also likes old-fashioned books.  I do too, but I also like the idea of having a portable library if I want that option.  \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n<p><P><\/p>\n<p>I think it is really cool that Jeff went on the Daily Show to promote the Kindle 2.  I took a few screenshots, and added what I thought were funny moments.  The first shot Jon acts surprised when &#8220;Kindle 2&#8221; isn&#8217;t a movie.  He gets lots of movie guests.  In the second shot he was poking fun at shipping costs, and Jeff introduced <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/help\/customer\/display.html?nodeId=13819211\">the Amazon Prime program<\/a> ($79 a year, all orders shipped 2day shipping at no further cost) and Jon gave him a bit of ribbing about that.  If you order a lot from Amazon it is a great deal.  If not, then it isn&#8217;t such a great deal.  But just wait until gas prices rise a bit more&#8230; <\/p>\n<p><P><\/p>\n<p>The third shot is the actual Kindle hand-off, and the fourth shot just has the crawl info for Jeff.  Thought it was interesting. <\/p>\n<p><P><\/p>\n<p>What a surprise.  R. said I was entirely too surprised when this came on, but I don&#8217;t see the director of her hospital on the Daily Show.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><br clear=\"all\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s see the clip.
