(Updated: 12/15/2009 – Kindle Book Deletion has been confirmed. You can delete books from your account on the Manage Your Kindle page. Also, you can add Kindle books to your Wish List via the Kindle store on your device or online.)
Thanks to Anarel on Kindleboards who noticed the new feature on the Kindle’s Manage Your Kindle pages. Amazon is quietly adding or testing the ability to permanently delete items in your Kindle archive. Nice! Well, I’m off to make a list of nook features that would require backend or software updates only. Bet we see them soon!
This feature is not yet enabled on my account, but I am looking forward to it.
Additions So far
- International Device
- Native PDF
- Screen Rotation
- Longer Battery Life
- Kindle Wish Lists (available online/device)
- Book Deletion
- Kindle for PC (Mac announced sign-up here/Blackberry coming)
- Content Management (Coming Soon)
Possibly next?
- Custom screensavers
- Add’l fonts
- Add’l file types
- Maybe another DRM format?
Then, they’ll add stuff that nook doesn’t have that they’ve been holding on to FOREVER – like folders/tagging and other user-requested features. The nook will be fixing performance for the next couple of months, then they’ll have to do something. Hopefully this will go on until they have maxed out features on the current hardware.
