Amazon Book Streaming Could Help Small Business

Complete PCWorld Coverage

Amazon Kindle (Wi-Fi, 3rd Generation)

According to the rumor, Amazon Prime members would have access to books through the new service. You can currently become an Amazon Prime member for an annual fee of $79, and they have already made streaming movies available to their members. All Amazon would need to do is to add books to the menu.The Internet is abuzz with talk of Amazon’s rumored streaming service for books. This news is exciting for any business manager, professional, or student who relies on research from original sources.

Here's why this could mean a lot to any business, writers and publishers included. We’re going to take a leap of faith here and assume that what Amazon is offering goes beyond the usual Project Gutenberg titles that every e-book reader and service has made available for free, since they will need to do so to attract subscribers to their service.

1. Google Books Is Not Enough

Google Books is currently the most thorough repository of books on the Internet. Since it only offers a free preview of a book, many students and others only use the portions of content that are available on the free preview in their research. If the titles on Amazon’s streaming book service are at all similar to the titles on Google Books, 100 percent of the publication would be available to Amazon Prime members.

2. Businesses Can Advertise to Relevant Readers

If Amazon succeeds in negotiating such a service with publishers and authors, which is still a big "if" at this point, there is a huge opportunity for them to target readers of specific titles for products with advertisements. As long as the ads were unobtrusive to the reading process, this could represent an excellent targeting opportunity for businesses and a potential additional revenue stream for Amazon.

3. Authors and Publishers Enjoy Immediate Payment

Metrics will be instantly available as to who streamed what book. This allows both authors and publishers to capitalize on work that may have sat on a shelf unnoticed in the past, either online or off. This is a model that has worked well with Apple’s iPad, which Amazon is rumoured to be basing its pricing models on.

4. Books Open Up to Wider Market

To obtain e-books from Amazon right now, you must go to Amazon’s website, search for what you want, and download it. If Amazon’s purported service does it right, you’ll be able to tap an app on your smartphone or their forthcoming tablet and stream a book directly to your device. This huge simplification of the process will mean that everyone with access to a smartphone now has access to books, which could easily help Amazon tap into the larger global market for e-books.

Amazon Kindle 3: The Best Kindle Yet

Amazon Kindle 3: The Best Kindle Yet

Amazon Kindle (Wi-Fi/3G, 3rd Generation) Review, by Melissa J. Perenson August 22, 2010

Amazon has finally arrived at an e-reader product that not only slays its current competition, but also feels ready to meet the mainstream masses. With the Amazon Kindle (third-generation), Amazon addresses many of the transgressions of earlier Kindle iterations, such as relatively heavy weight, slow page turns, and finger-unfriendly button designs.

After using a shipping version of the Kindle--due out later this week--I found much to like. And while there's still room for improvement, this Kindle is the first I feel comfortable recommending to friends.

The third-generation Kindle comes in two versions: The Kindle Wi-Fi costs $139, while the Kindle (as Amazon calls it) has both Wi-Fi and 3G and costs $189, the same as what the 3G-only Kindle 2 cost previously.

This isn't just a mild update or color refresh, which the recently refreshed Kindle DX (Graphite) could easily be considered, even with that product's improved display technology. The attention Amazon has paid to this model shows that the company is focusing on its hardware strategy to complement its software (with Kindle apps for iPhone, iPad, PC, Mac, Android, and BlackBerry) and e-bookstore strategies.

That said, it's worth noting that this is the first smaller-sized Kindle in two colors: eye-pleasing graphite (the same as the Kindle DX launched earlier this summer) and standard Kindle white. In my experience with e-readers, a darker border enhances readability, giving the perception of better screen contrast. That was indeed still my impression with the Kindle.

However, the display itself has been enhanced, too: Like the Kindle DX (Graphite), the Kindle now has a 6-inch E-Ink Pearl display, one of whose benefits is 50 percent better contrast. In use, the difference in the screen contrast is striking: As on the Kindle DX (Graphite), blacks look more solid, and text looked smoother. Another benefit of the Pearl display: Faster screen refresh rates, which provides a significantly improved user experience (more on that later).

The newest Kindle's streamlined design enabled Kindle to shrink by 21 percent, per Amazon. By the numbers alone, it doesn't seem that much is shaved off: The new model measures a stout 7.5 by 4.8 by 0.34 inches, versus the 8 by 5.3 by 0.36 inches of the Kindle 2. But when you look at the two devices side-by-side, it's clear that its dimensions have shrunk.

For those who've clamored for a lighted E-Ink screen, Amazon's case solution proves a good choice. It worked well to provide suitable illumination on a night-time plane ride, without requiring me to fire up the overhead light (overkill for e-reading). The $60 leather case feels good in hand, and has a pull-out extendable light that curves around and illuminates the screen. It's a clever, albeit not infallible, design; you may have troubles pulling the light out if you don't have any fingernails, and the light spread is uneven, more intense in the upper right quadrant than in the lower left.

For those who want the advantages of a dedicated e-reader--namely, long battery life, a paper-like screen that can be read in bright light--right now the third-generation Kindle can't be beat for its mix of price, features, and performance.

After spending some quality time curled up with the new Kindle, I have to say it's the first e-reader in months that's left me wanting to read more. Its solid build quality, along with its improved design, integrated store, and cross-platform transportability (books are usable on any Kindle reader app, including iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry, and PC) all add up to a winner that shoots to the head of the pack.
