Very interesting…Amazon and B & N are preparing apps to run on the iPad to view their books. Can iPad user buy books through the Amazon/BN stores? That would be cool, sine closed loop systems are not beneficial to the customer and ultimately to the respective companies.
From the article:
“With the launch of the iPad looming ever closer, more and more developers are coming forward with plans for the device. The latest in line are book retailers Amazon and Barnes & Noble, both of which are hard at work on their respective e-book reading apps for the iPad, according to The New York Times.
Neither of those companies were among the ones that got physical pre-production iPads to test their applications on and won’t be aiming to make their applications available on launch day. Both apps will feature a completely redesigned interface to take advantage of the larger screen and likely some funky page-turn animations, because that’s what we’ve come to expect from an e-reader.
Given that Amazon has had an iPhone version of its Kindle app for a while and even recently released a beta version of its Mac client, it seems only logical that the software would head to the iPad. What’s more interesting, however, is whether or not the iPad app will allow customers to buy content from the Kindle Store.”
