Amazon turns Kindle into a platform
- Raphael 17y agoI see Hangman, 20 questions, and crosswords in the future.
- dublinclontarf 17y agoMeh, OpenInkpot is available for many of the lower end Chinese made eReaders. I'm getting my wife a Hanvan N516 for our aniversary soon, it's just a basic 5' reader but it costs 1,250 R&B which is about US. 183 OK Amazons got the library & the platform, but it's never going to make it in the Chinese market that's for sure.
- rbanffy 17y agoRemember the iPod: it doesn't really matter if something already exists: thye first company that gets it right gets the prize. Right now, I suspect something Android-derived will play an important role on e-reader devices, specially if animation-capable OLED or PixelQi-style LCDs take a hold.
