It would be cool if they could offer "kindle keys" just like they do with steam keys.

That was my initial thought as well, but it wouldn't surprise me if there are layers of Amazon bureaucracy that would make that difficult. I'd settle for a simple way to enter my Kindle's email address and have them email the mobi file right to my device.

  I purchased the bundle and they will email the files to your kindle. You have to go to your Amazon account settings and whitelist kindle@humblebundle.com, however, in order to receive it.

    Oh, awesome! I purchased it as well, but somehow missed the gigantic bold link offering to do that.

        The option "send to Kindle" appears on the page https://www.humblebundle.com/downloads?key=YOURUNIQUEKEY https://www.humblebundle.com/downloads?key=YOURUNIQUEKEY after you purchase the bundle.

Would be cool if there was a kind of wholesale organization for books and music, so that third parties could create cool music and book stores.

  This is my area of Domain knowledge, there will be one that should be up and running sometime q2 2013.

    I hope with all of my being you are being serious. I also hope it's worldwide and not limited to the US. Most startups related to trying to shake up the media publishing biz pretty much exclusively say "US only for now, we're working on worldwide" and it never happens. :(

They're DRM free ebooks so you can just load them. shrug

  One of the big drawcards of buying a book on Amazon et al is that it's delivered automatically. I suppose these few clicks make it a hindrance for the lazy and having an automated process might make a few more sales.

    Maybe they could add the feature to email to your kindle email which downloads automatically.

      You can do that, its on the download page after you purchase.
