Everyone knows Kindle is a closed development platform (ie not an application that allows the development environment for the Kindle platform better). Today I have the news that Google is the number of publishing partners, the company now has “fast pull” e-Reader software uses doubled and made me think.
First, almost flip-software that runs on any part of the network, including mobile applications. It is a version of Android and the iPhone, and I’m sure it will be a version of RIM soon. And if Apple Tablet is coming and all other ebook / Kindle competitor netbook, I’m sure there will almost cover. Almost Flip is a native web application, and it plays very well with the network, I can see. And Google has a clear interest, as a company to build in the promotion of the developers on several platforms, from Android to App Engine Google Chrome.
In my view, this means that Google is now competing with Amazon not only books, but for all professional editing products. While publishers and versions have been developed can be used for Kindle is the fact that it has an open platform, Amazon comes with the domain on the device. I doubt FastFlip ever live in the Kindle – though he would win once and for all if it is, I think. And I also doubt that the Kindle, suddenly seems like a simple way with the web ecosystem function as FastFlip (I have to use it more, but sharing and social measures more difficult, example).
Another possibility is to remember that both FastFlip Kindle and packaging systems for reading content articles are active. Therefore, competition for the market of people who need these services. Of course, the Internet is the underlying operating system, but functions as a kind FastFlip kiosk, just look at the products and the dip if desired.
As I indicated in my earlier diatribe Kindle, I find an e-reader Kindle as ideal for reading magazines. I wonder, perhaps, almost steal the Amazon market cap? Could FastFlip a standard operating system for the next generation of e-readers, netbooks, and mobile phones? Much depends on whether publishers have the feeling that rely on Google as a provider of kiosk. This is an open question, to be sure.
