Free Idea Factory

A way for Amazon.com to help put the Kindle in people’s hands so that they can get a hands-on test drive and possibly learn to love it: make the devices available to upscale restaurants at or below cost with a limited-functionality block such that they only load the current menu file off of the restaurant’s server–or, better, restaurants upload current menu to the Amazon server which pushes to the device. This way restaurants can have always-current menus put in front of customers with no printing costs or problems and Amazon can sell a region-specific browse the menu service that is constantly kept current by the restaurants.
