turns iPhone into a reader ebooks

E-Book ebook amazon kindle kindle amazon.com ipod touch 2

"Kindle for iPhone" is a new application that Amazon.com has performed for the mobile phone and media player Apple iPod Touch. This program acts as an electronic book reader, being an equivalent software that can be found on devices Kindle and Kindle 2 of the popular U.S. online bookseller.

The application download and installation is free, but not the books should be purchased at the online store Amazon. Holders of a Kindle 2 can also synchronize their readings, so they can jump between the two devices.

Amazon has released this application as a complement to its main product reader ebooks, that although it caused great excitement in the network has not played a large mass of sales. In fact, society does not yet seem to be prepared for such gadgets, which still must overcome some disadvantages such as battery life, screen (not to be tiring to the eye) and the size of the device itself. However, despite these drawbacks, Amazon is carving out a future and is pleased with the acceptance that has taken the device.

For now, nothing has been said of the controversial automatic reading function, although it is likely that given the problems that Amazon has been found, this has not been incorporated into the software for the iPhone.

The iPhone will not be another Kindle

Although it might seem that with this movement, Amazon.com wants to convert to your Apple into a new ebook reader like Kindle technically far from both devices seem. And this is due not only to their duties and their origin and goal differential, but the main element that we need to read (display) is very different between the two devices.

While the Kindle was born with a vocation for electronic book reader and it has a very comfortable screen that simulates the brightness and reflection of the role that reading does not end up becoming tired eyes, the screen of your Apple is so comfortable in this sense, it is not a device that can be used successfully, for example, spend an entire Sunday afternoon reading a book, while Amazon's Kindle itself was born with this objective in mind.

In this sense, what Amazon is looking for the casual reader, who reads magazines on the train, bus, or takes any time to read a few paragraphs, but do not necessarily spend hours engaged in a book. Increase their sales is another objective of the online bookseller for excellence.

With this move, Amazon also thwarts any possible attempt by Apple to turn the iPhone / iPod Touch into an eBook reader in the future, Amazon.com is the leading online bookseller, and his application platform Apple expand its dominance in this field that also will be a pioneer. However, the fact that Apple has accepted the application suggests that either has no plans to sell electronic books in the future, or has had to accept that Amazon will go ahead to keep them secret.

ITunes "Next target?

This initiative also makes one wonder if the next step is that Amazon sells eBooks directly through the iTunes Store. Is not difficult to imagine a business alliance, given that Amazon.com already has an application that gives access to its online store from the iPhone, so Apple does not pose any danger and much to gain for both companies. And with this step, Apple would strengthen its leadership as extending to store content in written form.

Digital books are due at the U.S. role in

ebook internet book sales amazon kindle

Amazon.com, the leading global bookseller, has revealed that sells-and far-greater number of books in electronic format and in paper format. The ebook revolution is just a step from the point of no return, and U.S. figures can be extrapolated to in a while the rest of the world.

The major online retailer of electronic books (and other products) worldwide, Amazon.com, has issued a press release by the results of its Kindle division, responsible for both sales of the same name as the reader content should make sense.

The figures speak for themselves: over the past three months, for every 100 books sold by Amazon on paper, its customers have purchased 143 electronic books. The proportion is higher if we focus in the last month: 180 per 100 electronic books on paper.

The difference is most apparent when we consider publications that are included with the paper version but not in digital format, so support the acquisition of "traditional" is the only option for the customer, and have neglected the Free electronic publications. Undoubtedly, the difference with their inclusion would have been much more substantial.

During the first half of 2010, Amazon sold three books in digital format in the same period in 2009, a figure supported by the Association of American Publishers, which encrypts the growth of e-book sales by 207% between May 2009 and December 2010.

Kindle remains a benchmark in the sector, especially since its second generation (Kindle DX) in which shortcomings were corrected as support for PDF.

The importance of transoceanic figures

Well, this is for the United States, but ... What we care about the rest of the world? as much. Technological trends are like fashion in the world of clothing: what comes out today in Paris, Milan or New York, will arrive in a few weeks or months to every corner of the planet. In consumer electronics, which is presented today in South Korea, the United States or Japan in a few months will jump to Europe and Central and South America.

That is why, across distances and taking into account substantial differences between the two markets, a conclusion can be extrapolated to the U.S. market as just being for the rest of the world, and this causes the announcement of Amazon.com that much.

Do the dates on which this might happen in other countries? depend on several factors, such as the degree of deployment of electronic book readers and their cost. The implementation of the same vendors like Amazon and other local players will also be important, and resistance or acquiescence of the booksellers "analog", if I may use the adjective.

Amazon launches Kindle 2, an electronic book that speaks



While it was unthinkable a few years ago being able to read a novel or even the newspaper in an electronic device, the advent of e-books showed that these teams could emerge as possible replacements for traditional books, allowing a more satisfying read less besides being lighter, and with the possibility of extending the font size of material you are reading.

Some of the first companies to launch such a product were Amazon and Sony with its Kindle e-books and e-Reader, respectively, but until the manufacturers have not conducted a series of improvements, users do not bet on this technology and believed that reading these devices were uncomfortable and tired eyes.

Now that the use of this technology is a bit more widespread, Amazon launched a new version of Kindle, a battery with 25% more powerful than the original, which allows access to an electronic library of 230,000 digital works, at $ 10 each one.

and 1984 - an irony?

amazon kindle

Hello. This is my first post.
Let me share with you. I found this shocking news and then make a personal comment where reality imitates fiction ...

Amazon and Kindle seems to have problems, like any mortal, with copyright. Amazon went on sale for electronic reader two works of George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm, without having the rights to do so, it seems that by using the platform of another party (if you can not trust anyone) . What could be a simple story solved diplomatically, such as acquiring rights or placed in contact with customers, since Amazon has committed error and should not be paid by users acted correctly, it has become a scandal that could happen only in a book of Orwell. Amazon's solution has been, nothing more and nothing less, remote access devices to its customers and clear the books in question.

This action, which eliminates the little desire I had bought a Kindle, we face up to what extent we can allow the conditions of use of a product giving access to such personal aspects of our lives such as our library, because, although it is clear Amazon knows what books you bought and, therefore, which make up your shelf, the fact that a company or government can access and manipulate our data it seems to me deplorable. So sacred are the copyright? Or is it that when purchasing a Kindle and sign a service contract (long, cumbersome and full of clauses) we are giving our firstborn Without even realizing it?

Just as David Pogue, the New York Times:

Amazon's action is so severe and unprecedented as a bookstore employee entered the night in our house, will take two books off shelves and leave us a check in the kitchen

So if you have a Kindle or are thinking of buying one, keep in mind that Amazon seems determined to do good to prevent Microsoft or Google will go to the dark side.

However, those who have read 1984 will recall that the action is situated in a totalitarian state where power is absolute and unique.
Monitoring the "state" takes hold of life and consciousness of citizens. All controlled by the figure of Big Brother.
Moreover, the past is rewritten in permanently erasing what had happened and replace it with a reality most favorable to power.
This is the boss who sees all, hears all and offers ....
It is an irony that Amazon has taken action to similar to the one that takes the Big Brother of the book that just erased from the Kindle. Or is it a coincidence??
Greetings.
