Hey, remember back when Steve Jobs said “people don’t read anymore<\/a>” when discussing why the Kindle<\/a> would be a failure? Heh, funny story: turns out Apple just released a device called the iPad and, at its unveiling<\/a>, spent an awful lot of time showing off what a great reader it is. However, when comparing it to Kindle (as we did here<\/a>) you have to think about that battery life figure: 10 hours vs. seven days<\/em>. When Walt Mossberg caught Jobs after the unveiling for a little gonzo-style interview he asked about this, and Jobs said “you’re not going to read for 10 hours…you just end up pluggin’ it in.” So, Steve now concedes that people do<\/em> read, but apparently they don’t do it for long without coming close to a power receptacle. When asked about price differentials between books on the devices, rumored to be as much as $5 more than on Kindle<\/a>, Jobs somewhat reluctantly states that “publishers are actually withholding books from Amazon because they’re not happy,” and that “the prices will be the same” — but doesn’t indicate whether Amazon’s prices will be going up or that rumored $14.99 price point is going down. It’s all in the video after the break, including plenty of face time with Walt.<\/p>\n
