Will Kindle Electronic Books Make Hard Covers Redundant?


Kindle books (e-books) are now outselling the hardcover editions on Amazon by a healthy margin, too. Kindle books are limited in their use: They cannot be donated to a library, sold to a used-book store or even Amazon's used marketplace or traded elsewhere. One big bonus that many people don't know about is the large number of free Kindle books available right from Amazon's webstore.

Books may also be tagged with one or more keywords by inserting the tags into notes added to the book. Books you purchase can also be read on Kindle and Kindle DX, Amazon's wireless reading device with free 3G wireless, that downloads books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs to a crisp, high-resolution electronic-paper display that looks and reads like real paper, even in bright sunlight. It actually seems to point you to well over a million free books if you had the time to read that many in your lifetime. Amazon's e-book strategy seems to consist of two parts: buy once and read anywhere (thanks to the company's legion of Kindle apps) and push the Kindle€and Kindle editions of books€as much as humanly possible.
