Kindle to be in ALL Target stores June 6

Reuters wrote last night:
  "[Target] is also set to offer Amazon.com Inc's Kindle in all of its stores on June 6, the lone bricks-and-mortar retailer to offer the top-selling product in the growing electronic-reader market."

This started with a pilot program in 100+ stores in Florida and in the Headquarters store in Minneapolis.  So, in June,  instead of the current opportunity to try out a Kindle for 30 days at home, with full refunds available if not interested in it, the Kindle-curious will be able to try them out at Target stores near them.

  It'll be interesting to see if people are more inclined to get one at the store or order from Amazon with the current sales tax advantage.  Word is that Target's stated return-policy will be similar if not better, although Amazon Kindle Support is known to be easy to deal with.  The convenience of a store in either case can't be underestimated, which is why Amazon is finally doing this.
