A closed operating system to reassure

Instead

models running Android, Amazon has decided to follow Apple and propose a closed operating system to reassure the customer. Nevertheless, it is still a modified version of Android in which Amazon has added the sauce and especially made sure to focus on the purchase of content in its own online store. For once, holding her captive customer, the U.S. giant is clearly aimed at those who are afraid of being lost in buying a touch pad.

Jeff Bezos furious: the beneficiaries refuse to loan Kindle ebooks - Actualitté.com

We knew the hospital mocks the charity, and who care about the stove pan. Now we have Jeff Bezos who regrets restrictive measures publishers and assigns. The big boss, during an interview at his company’s headquarters in Seattle, has railed against the holders that prevent lend digital books to family and friends.

etech, CC BY 2.0

“We that rights holders want ,” says Amazon’s boss, when you seek on the issue of lending digital books. For the record, since November 2011, a loan offer is available for premium customers. It is possible for them to download a free ebook in a quite similar to that of a digital library framework ready.

Except that very few American publishers have followed suit, and quickly fell back on Amazon freelance writers, offering them to touch a bit of money if they agreed to entrust their Kindle ebook Service Library. Is that it had to get an attractive offer for consumers, and in France, when the Kindle Library is out, we saw the same approach.

In parallel, the company had caught up with Barnes & Noble, in October 2010. The competitor was quickly offered its customers a service to lend a purchased ebook to a friend who is a holder of the Nook family unit. During the 14 days of the loan term, the ebook was so inaccessible to the original purchaser. A few months after Amazon had finally updated his camera and offered similar functionality, but with a restriction publishers and assigns must enable this feature, and all digital books are not eligible

.

Nearly three years later, the situation has not changed a bit, laments Jeff Bezos, as very few publishers finally agreed to have their books included in this program. “ You are welcome, if you want to go with our teams and meet the beneficiaries to see the progress you make. I am very sensitive on this topic , “he says.

Share easily … with a Kindle account

It adds two layers within a family, it should be extremely simple to share works. It would suffice to create a joint account Kindle for everyone, this is what Jeff did with his wife, who is a novelist, and their four children. Moreover, Amazon would love to sell more content without restrictions …
