Greetings from Kindle Nation!
We’re at the beginning of a fun time here at Kindle Nation. Not only do we have plenty to share with you in this week’s newsletter, but you may have already noticed that we’re in the process of adding some pretty cool enhancements to our overall presence, including (and this is just a beginning):
- Our regular Kindle Nation Daily Free and Bargain Book listings page is easier to use than ever, and now includes “author” and “date added” data for each of the more than 100 contemporary tiles found there. Soon we hope to add the ability to sort by title, author, or date added as well as the ability to open a sample of any listed book from within your browser!
- We’ve made our “Around the Kindlesphere” news summary a regular feature that you’ll be seeing at least once a week.
- Our sister site, Planet iPad, is back up and running with a wealth of information for folks who enjoy reading on an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch, thanks to new editor Tom Dulaney. Check it out or click here to subscribe to the Kindle edition!
- We’ve cut way back on posts aimed at UK Kindle owners and will soon close them out almost entirely, but not because we have forsaken fellow Kindle owners across the pond. Instead, we believe we’ll be better able to serve Kindle owners everywhere before the end of 2010 by making a totally separate Kindle Nation UK the first of several in-country Kindle blogs beyond US borders.
- Finally, and this is pretty exciting, we have been selected by Amazon and its AmazonEncore publishing imprint to play a major role in a new book release — over the course of the next two weeks — that will be one of the major new media publishing stories of the season. More on that item this week!
But enough about what we’ll be doing in future weeks. We’ve got plenty to share with you this week, so let’s get started! Click on any heading in the linked table of contents below to navigate to the entire article.
