Kindle is coming and more
By , Friday, 2nd October 2009
At the beginning of August we put our first client on to the Kindle platform. Since then we have been sitting around waiting for the arrival of Kindle in the UK.
According to a recent article in Book Seller magazine, the Kindle should be announced in the UK during the second week of October -- which means we can all get one for Xmas. Kindle is a great product for reading books and other magazines. It is only a monochrome platform so it will not ideal for many magazines but as noted elsewhere there will almost certainly be other e-book and magazine readers coming.
E-book readers are going to be controversial. Lots of people are going to say they don't want them -- lots of discussion about wanting to feel paper between fingers etc. etc. Similar words were used by many a few years ago about photographic film and prints which has virtually (but not completely) disappeared -- in the same way as there are still some us who listen to vinyl records. However, when paper versions are more expensive and competition makes the e-book readers cheaper, we all know what we are going to be using.
