The Kindle, Amazon’s ugly but useful ebook reader that launched in November 2007, may be a burgeoning hit, says Citigroup Analyst Mark Mahaney. Citi expects Amazon to generate between $400 million and $750 million in revenue from the Kindle by 2010, or 1% - 3% of Amazon’s total revenue.

The key points of differentiation with the Kindle and competing devices is the fact that books and other content is delivered to the Kindle wirelessly and that the Kindle has the largest book selection by a significant margin (more than 120,000 books, magazines, newspapers, and blogs, including 98 of 112 current New York Times Best Sellers). Mahaney also points out that the Kindle has more memory than competitors, and supports newspapers, magazine and blog subscriptions. See Mahaney’s comparison chart below for additional details:
