Amazon Sign In Works Internationally

   Posted by: Jeffrey Keefer    in Technology

I used Amazon for years, though only learned yesterday that my Amazon (US) Sign In works in their international sites, too. While this may seem a no-brainer to some, I was pleasantly surprised I could order from the UK without having to enter my address, credit cards, or even guess the exchange rate (it is listed).

Isn’t this a smart business move that makes it easier for consumers (me) to get products that would otherwise be challenging to get? Should make getting research texts immediately more accessible.

Amazon Kindle DX Announced!

   Posted by: Jeffrey Keefer    in Technology

kindle-dxWhile I have resisted getting a Kindle, due to some of its limitations, I think the new Kindle DX may just fill the gap. It can show the NY Times like a newspaper, and also has native PDF support.

All it needs is a full-fledge web browser and color, and it will dominate the hardware market. I wonder if that is next?
