Amazon Kindle DX, back with a rare price - ComputerHoy

Last year Amazon announced the end of production of its e-reader, the Kindle DX . Launched in 2009, was a product that was well received despite its characteristics-screen 9.7-inch, long battery life and ability to access Amazon’s bookstore-competition because he suffered at the hands of other more lightweight and comfortable to wear as the Kindle basic, Kindle Fire and iPad.

Now, it seems that good again twice, but with a restriction. While maintaining the old features of the product, the e-reader price has increased , and sold for $ 300, a figure considerably higher than that required to pay for other e-readers that offer many more possibilities as the Kindle Fire and Kindle Paperwhite. Even if it offers something more than money, the buyer could take home an iPad Mini that gives more to do.

Amazon representatives say they are excited by the return of an e-reader market itself. Remains to be seen whether the return means more of the same or something completely different.

Amazon has moved a step closer today with your ebooks presenting a eBook lending service for libraries using the Kindle platform . That is, as we go to a library to borrow a book and return it in person physically and with this new service from Amazon can do the same via Internet without leaving home.

are eleven thousand libraries that have signed on to promote this service with Amazon. With such a system called OverDrive libraries, users can log on the website of the library and borrow a book downloaded from its database for free. Once the book expires, can borrow or buy it again definitely in the Kindle Store . Perhaps most interesting is that all data related to the borrowed book (annotations, page marks …) are preserved.

Unfortunately service is only available in the United States , as it depends on the will of libraries. We do not know if you ever see this in Spain, but let’s go step by step and hopefully before the arrival of the Spanish Kindle Store in the company (and if possible, with a good catalog of books to avoid falling into what happened to Apple’s iBooks Store).

When Apple introduced the iPad earlier this year, it seemed that the Cupertino company would eat another market that had never set foot: the electronic books. However, it seems that this time Steve Jobs plans have been truncated due to a strong competitor: the Amazon book store book outsells the Apple for 60 to a . That is, when Apple sells an e-book, Amazon has already sold 60.

show us the testimony of a writer, Joseph Andrew Konrath. The shock of his books in the Kindle Store (Amazon store) are at a rate of 200 a day, while the iPad only sells 100 a month . This does not represent any loss to Konrath, but it is a good example of the difference in success between the two stores.

Is the iPad screen too bright? Or is it because the Kindle is focused on e-book reader as the Apple tablet is diversified into many more fields? Apple will have to scramble if you want a good piece of the e-books that will increasingly gaining ground in the market for physical paper books .

Kindle for the Web to read and share book excerpts without installing anything - Engadget

War of the ebooks is pretty fierce, so even Movistar wants to jump on the bandwagon. While Apple has a great opportunity to popularize iBooks thanks to the success of the iPad, Amazon is not willing to give an inch to their advantage. Therefore, they are focusing on your strategy of getting your book store as many platforms as possible (while still enhancing their specialized device, the Kindle).

The last movement have taken in this direction is to launch Kindle for the Web , a web service that allows us to read and share fragments ebooks Amazon Shop directly from the browser without having to install the Kindle software for PC or Mac This reader offers almost the same features as the Kindle desktop client: you can adjust the font size, line spacing, the length of the lines, full screen reading, jump to a particular page, etc.. The only thing I would criticize in this section is that the font rendering is a bit spartan.

Best of all is that it allows you to embed / embeder (or whatever you say in Spanish) this display of books on blogs and websites. There are also shortcuts for the book share on Facebook, Twitter and Email .

But that’s not all, since Amazon is also offering incentives for bloggers and webmasters books fragments embedded in its pages. Each time a reader finishes a book buying by this route, Amazon will pay you a percentage of the sale , in the style of Google AdSense (yes, you must be enrolled in the Amazon Associates Program to enjoy this benefit).

This function also allows publishers to promote their books in a much more simple and practical. You can embed on your website, giving interactivity to readers, thereby increasing sales. That is the main achievement of this movement Amazon make sure your party publishers , by offering more effective ways of spreading what they find in the store of Barnes & Noble, or Apple iBooks same
