Well, hopefully this interview will not make you more nauseous. You've been a busy guy, Andy. You deserve to be nauseous.

And I never heard anything about it again (laughs). But yeah, every time I see it in the paper, I see "Kindle," and I think it's my name. That's how excited I get; that it's even close to being my name. wonder what Gary iPad thinks about all this. KINDLER: (laughs) Yeah! What's his problem with it?
