Again, some really interesting posts and updates on the kindle that you will probably like -
- First, an excellent discussion at platypope on why worse is better in ebook formats.
- A free book from Robert W. Walker (pdf format), found via Kindle Nation. And the book in Kindle format (If Mr. Walker wants me to remove the kindle format file, will gladly do so).
- The Kindle Store now has PC Magazine available.
- Joe Wikert has some good thoughts on the Kindle, including something that’s coming up more and more i.e.
How much of the Kindle’s success is due to the instant delivery, cheaper prices, and the service; as opposed to the device itself and the eInk technology.
- At The Atlantic, a really interesting comments discussion on ‘If the Kindle had been invented first’.
- Teleread points to this Sony Reader Customizer that let you get features like custom fonts, localized languages, one key shut-down and much more (makes me wish even more for a Kindle App Store).
Thought for the Day: Mr. Bezos mentioned that ‘the Kindle Store is DRM agnostic’.
Its interesting that DRM polarizes people to the extent that it does. Given that a lot of content creators are very pro-DRM, and a lot of content consumers are anti-DRM, Amazon might not have an option other than to keep the Kindle Store DRM Agnostic (Recently, have been referring to Wikipedia nearly as much as Chris Anderson).
