Release targeted at textbook sales
The Kindle, Amazon’s Linux-powered electronic paper book will have at least one new version out for the 2008 holiday season.The new Kindle, however, may be marketed more for college students returning to school in January rather than for finding a place under the Christmas tree. According to a report by Andreas James, Amazon will be marketing the revised “e-book reader to college students.” The plan seems to be to release the Kindle in conjunction with college textbook publishers. This way, the textbook publishers can sell more affordable e-textbooks, cutting out the used textbook vendors, and Amazon can move more Kindles.
