Amazon to Begin Delivering Kindle Editions of Newspapers and Magazines To Other Kindle-Compatible Devices

By Tom Dulaney
Editor, Planet iPad


Magazines and newspapers are coming soon to Kindle apps for other devices.

Up until now, people who read newspapers, magazines and blogs like Kindle Nation Daily on their Amazon Kindle have been limited to reading their purchases only on their Kindles.   Ever since the apps for books that expand reading device alternatives (Kindle for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch Android, Blackberry) began appearing in 2009, there has been an unfilled service gap: reading periodicals on a device other than the Kindle.  

That’s going to change, the Amazon Kindle Team revealed recently in a forum called “Coming Soon For The Kindle.”   The team made another promise in the same announcement:  Kindle customers will be able to lend their ebooks to others before the end of the year. Both announcements are the stuff of major press releases, yet they came in the relatively obscure space of a small forum tucked inside the Amazon Kindle infrastructure.

The Amazon Kindle Team’s “heads up” in the “Coming Soon For the Kindle” forum did not mention the fate of more than 10,000 blogs now on sale in the Kindle Store, but Kindle Nation editor Steve Windwalker believes — and hopes — that delivery of Kindle edition blogs to other devices is inevitable.

Our vision is Buy Once, Read Everywhere, and we’re excited to make this possible for Kindle periodicals in the same way that it works now for Kindle books,” the Kindle team’s blurb said. “More details when we launch this in the coming weeks.”
