Now that the iPad is upon them, Amazon has finally made a deal to unleash their popular Kindle e-reader to the bricks-and-mortar retail market. Amazon has made a deal with Target that will have Kindles in some of their stores as early as this Sunday.<\/p>\n

The first stores to get the Kindle will be in south Florida and the chain’s flagship store in downtown Minneapolis. These stores should start selling Kindles on April 25.<\/p>\n

Target says it plans on rolling out the device for sale in all its stores, but gave no specific time line as to the whens and wheres.<\/p>\n

Says a dude from Target, hopefully with a cool Minnesota accent:<\/p>\n

We’re excited to be working with Amazon to help even more readers discover Kindle, in-store only at Target… We strive to enhance our product offerings to include surprising products and services at great values so we’re proud to be the first brick-and-mortar retailer to sell Kindle, allowing our guests to feel how lightweight and easy on the eyes Kindle is.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is this going to be enough for Kindle to maintain its E-reader market share? Or does its lack of color and it singular use put it at a disadvantage?<\/p>\n
