I’ve tried that and have had very hit-or-miss results. More misses than hits.

Kindle users have had to use a Pottermore account to buy and obtain a copy of the Harry Potter books previously, priced at $7.99 for the first three and $9.99 for the final four books.

Here is the problem, though: For Apple, a touchscreen phone wasn’t a huge leap. Hardware-wise, they were already making a small lightweight multifunction device with an LCD screen and capacitative touch interface: the iPod mini with the clickwheel. The iPhone was a mini with a bigger screen, transparent clickwheel overlaid on it, and a cellphone stuffed inside. It was a dramatic but credible transition.

Google went from no portable hardware experience and the imported Sidekick team to an iPhone-like device in one huge, renarkable leap. Incredible—in the sense of straining credibilty—is a good way to describe it. No progression, just a cold start to leading-edge competitor in one step. Occam’s razor says that Schmidt and Rubin being extremely “inspired” is a whole lot more believable than the Birth of Venus story.
