Amazon to Launch Library Lending for Kindle Books
Customers will be able to borrow Kindle books from over 11,000 local
libraries to read on Kindle and free Kindle reading apps
Whispersyncing of notes, highlights and last page read to work for Kindle
library books
SEATTLE, Apr 20, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
(NASDAQ: AMZN)-- Amazon today announced Kindle Library Lending, a new
feature launching later this year that will allow Kindle customers to borrow
Kindle books from over 11,000 libraries in the United States. Kindle
Library Lending will be available for all generations of Kindle devices and
free Kindle reading apps.
"We're excited that millions of Kindle customers will be able to borrow
Kindle books from their local libraries," said Jay Marine, Director, Amazon
Kindle. "Customers tell us they love Kindle for its Pearl e-ink display that
is easy to read even in bright sunlight, up to a month of battery life, and
Whispersync technology that synchronizes notes, highlights and last page
read between their Kindle and free Kindle apps."
Customers will be able to check out a Kindle book from their local library
and start reading on any Kindle device or free Kindle app for Android, iPad,
iPod touch, iPhone, PC, Mac, BlackBerry, or Windows Phone. If a Kindle book
is checked out again or that book is purchased from Amazon, all of a
customer's annotations and bookmarks will be preserved.
"We're doing a little something extra here," Marine continued. "Normally,
making margin notes in library books is a big no-no. But we're extending our
Whispersync technology so that you can highlight and add margin notes to
Kindle books you check out from your local library. Your notes will not show
up when the next patron checks out the book. But if you check out the book
again, or subsequently buy it, your notes will be there just as you left
them, perfectly Whispersynced."
With Kindle Library Lending, customers can take advantage of all of the
unique features of Kindle and Kindle books, including:
•Paper-like Pearl electronic-ink display
•No glare even in bright sunlight
•Lighter than a paperback - weighs just 8.5 ounces and holds up to 3,
500 books
•Up to one month of battery life with wireless off
•Read everywhere with free Kindle apps for Android, iPad, iPod touch,
iPhone, PC, Mac, BlackBerry and Windows Phone
•Whispersync technology wirelessly sync your books, notes, highlights,
and last page read across Kindle and free Kindle reading apps
•Real Page Numbers - easily reference passages with page numbers that
correspond to actual print editions
Amazon is working with OverDrive, the leading provider of digital content
solutions for over 11,000 public and educational libraries in the United
States, to bring a seamless library borrowing experience to Kindle customers
. "We are excited to be working with Amazon to offer Kindle Library Lending
to the millions of customers who read on Kindle and Kindle apps," said Steve
Potash, CEO, OverDrive. "We hear librarians and patrons rave about Kindle,
so we are thrilled that we can be part of bringing library books to the
unparalleled experience of reading on Kindle."
Kindle Library Lending will be available later this year for Kindle and free
Kindle app users. To learn more about Kindle go to www.amazon.com/kindle. | p*********w 发帖数: 23432 | 2 不错啊,是免费的么
