News - 1) Amazon reports record Kindle sales on Black Friday. Laura Hazard Owen has details on estimates of the Kindle Fire's market share compared with Apple's iPad 2. At Best Buy, the Fire bests the iPad 2, but you need to read the fine print on that one.  Amazon posts a point-by-point comparison of the two tablets.  2) Amazon announces new Kindle Stores for Spain and Italy. Tech Tip - Fire: Reports surface of WiFi connection problems with the Kindle Fire. Bruce Beris posts an overview and troubleshooting suggestions. Also, how to get some hot orange color into the name of your Fire.

Interview (Starts at 16:03) - Russ Grandinetti, Amazon's Vice President for Kindle Content, gives details of the Kindle Owners' Lending Library for Amazon Prime members and describes the similar mentality of the Kindle Fire and the e-ink Kindles.
