So I did a search for the term Web 2.0 on Amazon.com, and to my surprise there were a few number of technology books available for the Kindle platform. That wasn’t the case a few weeks back, but it goes on to show that Amazon is willing to put 150% behind Kindle to gain a wider degree of adoption. Books such as Unleashing Web 2.0, How to do everything with your Web 2.0 blog, and how to do everything with Web 2.0 mashups are just some of the great technology books available for the Kindle platform. Let’s all hope Amazon doesn’t change its mind about the support it has put behind the Kindle.

Glitch Martin Says:Yeah, well how come Amazon is charged upwards of $30 for these Web 2.0 books?! And I doubt, as with other Kindle books, there are illustrations. Not exactly the way to reach or grow an audience.

P. Rad Says:Not for all of them. Amazon can offer some books for $7.99 and $9.99 based on the demand, the effort that it took to make available on Kindle platform, and the deals with authors. If everything is not in place, we end up paying the listing or amazon price for Kindle books. Amazon Kindle is still a very young product with a bright future (if Amazon can actually make money on it).
