Amazon Kindle

Friday, 2 May 08

Amazon recently announced the details of their latest product – the fantastically named Amazon Kindle.

Amazon have always been innovators. Much more than an online book shop, they have developed software:

  • to allow us to read selected pages from our prospective purchases (Search inside)
  • to list the titles that other people who bought this book have also purchased
  • to let us create and read reviews from “real” people
  • to create lists of our favourite titles for others to browse

And now they’ve developed Kindle. It’s a handheld, lightweight piece of kit that’s “entirely new—a convenient, portable reading device with the ability to wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers.”

What do you think? Could Amazon Kindle do for reading what the Ipod has done for music?
