Amazon Kindle Social Feature

Recently on ChurchDrop I shared a video of Kevin Rose talking about the social elements that he felt were missing from Amazon Kindle.

Today I made an exciting discovery and that is that you can now make your notes public, therefore sharing them with whoever “follows” you through their twitter-style profile system.

I think that this is a great step in the right direction for Kindle, and I am really excited about the feature getting more popular and making use of it myself.

Are Amazon About to Drop a Tablet?

OK Amazon, we know what you are up to!

The Evidence

At the beginning of last year, Amazon acquired multitouch company Touchco.
Early last year Amazon started recruiting for several positions within it’s company Lab126 which were very obviously to do with a “colour” and “WiFi” device, or devices.
This week Amazon dropped it’s very own Android App Store which is fully separate from, and in competition with the Google Marketplace.

To me, this evidence very clearly points to Amazon developing and currently getting ready to launch it’s very own tablet device.

eReader Format Table

For me, eBook reader formats are not an issue. I am firmly a fan of the Amazon Kindle and am not likely to switch in a hurry.

I, in fact, always think that with things like this, it’s never the best option to be messing around with mixing different formats etc, I like to just keep it simple, and stick to one supplier.

Random House Now on iBooks

The Kindle is kicking some serious tail. Although the Kindle is not in direct competition with the iPad, the lower price point makes it a no brainer for those satisfied with a single use device.

For those on the fence, trying to decide if they should drop a few more bucks and get a more diverse device, like the iPad, the sheer ease and library size of the Kindle has some serious weight in the decision process.

Something Apple needs to address, if it wants to bring some Kindle owners over to their pasture.

Now they have.

Reinventing eBook Software

As many of you will know, I am particularly interested in eBooks, especially since switching most of my book buying to Kindle recently. I have especially been keeping a close eye on sales figures and new products.

Although this video is quite a few months old, I think that Kevin Rose (founder of Digg) has some really great thoughts on how eBooks can be made to be more awesome in this evermore digital world that we live in.
