Boy Genius gets some snapshots of the purported Kindle 2.

marking this so i can find the e-cards on amazon. took me like 5 minutes to find the link today.

Wired put together a Wish List of features for Kindle 2.0. Most aren't surprising but I absolutely love the idea of content subscription for books.

Quoted:The rumblings in the ground are pointing to an imminent Kindle 2.0, a successor to Amazon's loved but flawed e-book reader. The Kindle has effectively dropped

It's great to see Neil debuting his new service. I worked in his group at Amazon and got choked up saying goodbye to him when I went to work for Faves.

Quoted: The Paul Allen-backed start-up evri began as Hypertext Solutions. Led by Neil Roseman, the former vice president of technology at Amazon, evri's business is semantic search, its MO "search less, and understand more."

Cool story !

My favorite blog-post about the newly launched Amazon Facebook apps.

Lab126, an Amazon.com company, designed and developed Kindle.

Quoted: description

Rafe Furst has published a way of reading entire books for free on Amazon. By searching for a set of keywords which progresses you through an entire book, you create a Covering Set. It sounds a bit heavy-weight to me...

Quoted: A set of keywords that lets you read an entire book for free on Amazon is a covering set (CS). If the number of keywords in a CS is less than or equal to that of all other CSs for the same book, then it is a Minimal Amazon Covering Set (MACS). There may be more than one MACS for any given book. (And yes, someone who is highly skilled at discovering these could be considered a “MACS book pro”).

Speculation on where Amazon might take the Kindle platform development next... MUSIC! A device with wireless subscription access to all music would be great!

Quoted: 1. Make its MP3 store global. 2. Make a WWAN-equipped MP3 player hooked into the music store, a la Kindle. 3. Profit. Profit like God-damned crazy.
