Good news for Kindle owners, but especially for Amazon Prime members: Amazon announced a new ‘benefit’ where you can borrow a kindle book, one per month, with no due dates. Looks like another way Amazon is connecting its content library to its devices, and it makes the $79/year Prime membership look like a steal. Prime membership originally was intended for frequent shoppers, offering free 2 day delivery, then included unlimited streaming of movies and TV shows, and now its ventured into e-books.
Leave a comment if you’re a Prime member and tried the book borrowing feature.

The long awaited Kindle feature has finally arrived. The ability to download e-books from your local public library. The Nook and other E-readers have had this capability for some time, and Amazon has finally come on board after announcing this months ago. One interesting feature noted in Amazon’s press release was that the reader’s margin notes (and highlights, bookmarks) will be saved, even after the book expires, and will be there when you borrow the book again, or buy the book. Neat.
Check out the details from Amazon’s page, as well as the Engadget report.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Amazon is working with publishers to provide a Netflix-like subscription service for Kindle books. This is in the rumor stage, and it’s possible if this deal gets done, that it will be part of the Amazon Prime $79/year membership program, that includes free 2 day shipping on all purchases, as well as instant streaming video access to TV and movies; which will then include a selection of book titles. The subscription model worked for music, will it work for e-books? Let’s wait and see.

Amazon has a “Deal of the Day” on a compact Kodak camcorder for $29.99. It’s not much in the spec list, but it’s only $30 and comes with a 2GB SD card. For the price, it seems to have decent reviews.
So if you are looking for a pocket-sized video camera on the cheap, check it out over at Amazon.com.

Students, if you are already comfortable with E-textbooks, then this story is for you. When one of my previous employers (a college) asked me to test out a Kindle for academic use, I thought that it would be great for reading classic literature for English class, but not as useful for traditional texts, that are full of colorful diagrams and graphics. The cost of purchasing one and using it on a Kindle seemed impractical for most students. This changes things.
