    Surely you have better things to do with your time. I don't see them selling it myself-that would be like asking them to sell Barnes and Nobles Nook.

    It is kind of disappointing that they don't sell the iPad. The savings by not having to pay sales tax would have been substantial. Maybe they are planning to sell it in the future; it's not like the Nook or Sony Reader, in my opinion. The iPad has many functions other than reading ebooks.

    Well it does read e-books and apple is touting that as one of it's main features, so I wouldn't ever expect Amazon to stock it.

    If you don't want sales tax try Ebay. If you buy one out of the state there's no sales tax.

    And honestly if you can get an ipad then paying the 40 dollar sales tax shouldn't be that big of a deal; it's not that much.

    Perv, why do you care?
    40 dollars is fourty dollars. Amazon probably will stock them once there is enough in stores and Apple will send them. Amazon sells iPods.

    lol, in Australia 'Sales Tax' (GST) is included into the purchase price so that you don't have to be assed sorting it out yourself ;)

    Oh and another thing, why do Americans call a handbrake an 'e-Brake'

    Ow. I hate how when you have to go state to state in the U.S., the sale tax changes.

    In comparison to the $0 sales tax that would have been charged by amazon, it's actually quite a bit. ;)

    So I see that nobody reports their purchases on Amazon to pay the tax for it like they're supposed to.

    Neither do I. :p

    Yeah, well its not like they have a music player that they sell. Ipods dont compete with one of their own products; the iPad does. Its that simple, and it is highly unlikely that they will ever sell it, and sending them a whole bunch of emails will just piss off the person working, so dont do it.

    don't you think the reason they don't sell them now is because of the kindle vs iPad thing?

    Not having to pay that $40 in tax = free iPad case!

    Macmall started selling the iPad so Amazon should soon after. That's the way it's always been.

    It makes sense that Macmall would sell the iPad. Amazon, not so much.

    Maybe the macmall will start selling the Kindle, Nook and Sony e-Reader, too.

    And then pigs will fly... :rolleyes:
