Help the world's children, promote English as the global language and rescuing Wall Street's image

See the sweet new Kindle. Lighter, faster, sleeker, more storage; oh, and a lower price. $139 (WiFi) and $189 for 3G version. Check out the picture:

Now, my brilliant plan to help teach the 1 billion boys and girls on the planet, hundreds of millions of whom with little opportunity to learn to read or write while improving America's standing around the world for generations and restoring Wall Street's good standing with America.

Give up their bonuses for one year and place an order for 1 billion new Kindles.

Wall Street bonuses total about $125 billion (or so) in a year. (I know, you're working for peanuts, sucker.) Imagine what an order for 1 billion Kindles would do. The price for even the 3G model at that volume could easily be brought down to $125.

That would put a Kindle in the hands of every child. And Amazon can pre-load these with the already free great English and American works that are currently available on the Amazon store. Improve literacy. Improve the world's children's understanding of America (and the West), embed the usage of English language around the world.

But wait, there's more! Not everyone will be able to take advantage (immediately and/or always) of the WiFi or the 3G. But let's assume at least 400 million would be able to leverage the wireless capabilities of the new Kindle. Suddenly, guys like me, and girls and boys and homemakers and unknown great writers suddenly have a platform where they can publish (at viritually no cost) their works, instantly, to nearly half a billion!

What you say, Wall Street? Want to make us love you again and do something grand?
