Amazon Kindle: the new eBook standard (and a cute attempt too!)
Amazon Kindle
is an electronic book (e-book) service launched in the United States by Amazon.com in November 2007.
It uses an electronic paper display, reads the proprietary Kindle (AZW) format, and downloads content over Amazon Whispernet, which uses the Sprint EVDO network.
This means that unlike previously existing e-book readers, the Amazon Kindle can be used without the need for a computer.
Whispernet is accessible through Kindle without any fee.
On the release day, the Kindle Store had more than 88,000 digital titles available for download.
The Amazon Kindle isn’t the most elegant looking gadget ever created (in fact it looks like it came out of the 70’s), but it packs an impressive list of features and could finally bring ebooks mainstream.
Amazon isn’t supporting the industry’s open standard around eBooks. Instead they are using their own proprietary format from Mobipocket, a company they acquired in 2005.
As BBC News reports Amazon Kindle sells out on debut:
A notice on the Kindle pages on the Amazon web store said “heavy customer demand” for the device meant it would be out of stock until 3 December.
