If you were to add one feature to Kindle,…
Posted by P. Rad in Thoughts on 08 17th, 2008 | 3 responses>

I took a bunch of innovation classes when I was in college. These types of classes are great as they help you think differently about how things are done and how you can improve them. So I put the following question on LinkedIn a while back to see what people may want to see in a remote:

If you wre to add one feature to your remote, what would it be and why?

The answers that I got were mostly on how you can make remotes cooler. Of course, making something look cool doesn’t necessarily mean you are innovating. So here is my question on Kindle. If you were to think outside the box and add one feature to Kindle to help its evolution (as an alternative to paperback books), what would it be and why? Very interested to hear your thoughts.

maybe not outside the box, since a lot of people have alresdy said it - but I vote for FOLDERS

yeah. Maybe I should change the question. Doesn’t necessarily mean it should be outside the box. I guess even the simplest features can make a complex product like Kindle much better.

I’d add a form of live discussions accessible directly through the book your in…some way to see what others have said and engage in a form of book club like atmosphere. Probably can be done with the blog setup they already have, but something more than the user reviews already on Amazon…try to maximize the whispernet feature.
