Inc.com predicts a worse fate for the Kindle. "Kindle has defied gravity, so far. It sold like hotcakes over the holidays of 2010, despite the iPad, despite the many eReader competitors now available, and despite the lower-priced eReader competitors. In 2011, the Kindle will exhaust its nine lives. It won't die, but sales will fritter. In the end, Kindle will exist largely as an app for other devices. The hardware will be headed for the Smithsonian by 2012," wrote Renee Oricchio, in "Tech Predictions for 2011," on Inc.com's Tech Blog on Dec. 30.
