Amazon Doubles Selections For Kindle

If you haven’t noticed yet, Amazon has changed their Kindle front page to display the following message:

This tell me two things:

1. Amazon has been working hard to make the Kindle platform more popular, and this announcement shows that Kindle is not going anywhere. So for those who were afraid it’d be discontinued, it seems it will be around for a while.
2. Amazon is getting ready to release the new Kindles soon, and they can use all the promotional boosts they can get. One strong plus would be having a large selection of cheaper book. Rumors are going around that Amazon will announce their next plans by the end of October, early November. I wouldn’t be surprised if Amazon lays the ground for their next major announcement.

Now a lot of these new titles are magazine and blogs, but you can almost sense the speedy fashion that Amazon has been bringing books to the Kindle platform. The books that I wanted to buy a few months ago but were not available for the Kindle are now all available for the platform. In addition, many new books come in the Kindle edition as well. Let’s hope Amazon continues this trend to fulfil Jeff Bezos’ original dream for Kindle (digitizing all books in the world).
