So we have all heard all the complaints about Kindle books being nonreturnable. After all you are buying a digital book and not a paperbook. But in fact you can return content to Amazon. Here is the policy: Any content you purchase for Kindle from the Amazon Kindle store is eligible for return and refund [...]

I have heard a lot of people complain about the number of blogs that are available for subscription on Kindle. After all, people like to read anything they like on their Kindles and not be limited to Boing Boing or Slash Dot. But the truth is, you can read any blog you want on your [...]

The U.S. government supporting companies such as Amazon with their digital transformation efforts? It’s never going to happen, right? Well, I think it’s worth considering. We all talk about the Green movement to save the planet and take cars out of the roads and replacing them with Hybrid vehicles. I hear all about bank and [...]

If you haven’t been paying attention, Amazon seems to be juggling between multiple strategies to make the Kindle store more relevant. The Kindle store is great if you are a heavy Kindle user, but at the end of the day most people search for books on the normal Amazon store and not the Kindle store. [...]

As Amazon tries to sell more Kindle with various promotions, I thought I’d ask you guys your thoughts on possible Amazon Kindle promotions that could be on the horizon for us.

Before I start talking about Kindle Share, I need to be clear that such service does not exist today. It may in the near future as Amazon plans the release of Kindle 2.0, but so far we have not heard any rumors about this future being included in the near future. But a feature like [...]

In the past couple 6 months, we have heard so many times how Kindle doesn’t support PDF ebooks and as such it’s useless. Now I have explained a few times here and there on this blog that Kindle is actually able to read your PDF books but of course you need to convert it to [...]

So with Amazon running a $100 off promotion on the Kindle (with Chase), there are a few people who want to jump in and take advantage of the current price as long as they can. A few days ago, with the Kindle rumor machine running wild, there were good reasons not to take advantage of [...]

I did have a chance to post a few simple Kindle shortcuts a while back. I promised that I would write about some more advanced shortcuts, and I guess I’ll have to keep that promise. But before we get to that, I was wondering if you have any favorite shortcut on Kindle. Mine is the [...]

Kindle has been around for a while, but surprisingly a lot of people are finding about it these right now. When it was released, people were complaining about its lack of compatibility with PDF files (?) and its high cost. Now, the whole PDF issue was blown out of proportion as you can convert most [...]

What Apple has done with the iPod and the iPhone is simply incredible. You have a cult following for both products, and people simply can’t remember how they lived without them. Apple has not only created innovative designs with both products, but its customer-centric strategy has led to an eco-system that now expands into multiple [...]

I took a bunch of innovation classes when I was in college. These types of classes are great as they help you think differently about how things are done and how you can improve them. So I put the following question on LinkedIn a while back to see what people may want to see in [...]

A few days ago I was browsing through Amazon’s selection of books to figure out which books are the hottest sellers out there. To my surprise, I found a couple of books who were being sold for about $9 as paperback but $9.99 in the Kindle store. Now the problem with that is why would [...]

When I got my Kindle I thought it was the best thing ever. It had its glitches and challenges but the fact that I didn’t need to order paper books anymore (and pay the Amazon Prime fee) made me believe that once you switch to Kindle there is a good chance you’ll stay with Kindle. [...]

Here is the million dollar question. Knowing the success that Apple is having with the iPhone SDK, what program would you write for the Kindle, if Amazon developed an advanced API for the Kindle platform. Let’s assume that you know programming inside and out or have access to someone who does. What app(s) would you [...]
