Amazon To Target $5 Billion Textbook Market With New Kindle (64)
on TechCrunch (10947) permalinkEarlier this week Crunchgear broke the news on two new upcoming Kindle models: a smaller form factor Kindle to be released this year ahead of the holidays, and a large screen (probably 8.5×11) to come sometime next year. A couple of commenters in that post have pointed out that the large screen Kindle is perfect to target the college/university textbook market, a $5.5 billion market annually in the U.S. alone.

- Patrick said: I cannot wait for us to get on with the electronic book already. The vision that I would love to see become a reality is that of a school in rural Africa where the students have affordable access to all the textbooks that are available in more developed economies. For example, high-school mathematics has not changed since 1911 so, at the very least, a scanned version of all the off-copyright mathematics textbooks from that date should be available for free to anyone in the world. A single leap-frog moment similar to that which has occurred in the cellphone sector but I believe with potentially even greater consequences.

- Khanh Le said: So, I shouldn't buy an iPhone
- Ed said: Steve, just had to respond to the points that I was "blindly" unaware of when I made my purchase.1. A developer can bypass the app store and distribute there own app, they just need a web server.2. Spurious statement. Yeah, that would be true, if the phone/itunes didn't let you upload *any* DRM-free MP3, AAC, MP4 onto it. But it does. You don't have to have a single DRM'ed item on your iphone, however much Apple "support" it. (Aren't they fighting the labels for DRM free music? Didn't they fall out with NBC Universal because NBC wanted all non-DRM video to not work with iTunes?)3. That actually sounds like a daily mail Scaremonger headline about immigrants. As Lifehackers own screenshot shows, every location-aware app gives you the option to show location, or not.4. In all my years of using an MP3 player, I never thought I was missing anything by not having Ogg file format. It's just not a dealbreaker for me.The article is a bit silly, I read a much better "apple are evil, using open source software to lock us in to proprietary platforms" yesterday, kind of like The Independent to this articles Daily Star ramblings. I would search for it but... I'm writing this note. hehe.
