Well, you probably already have Kindle for iPad, but Amazon’s latest way to offer up your electronic texts, the, could be the way of the future as far as non-App store developers are concerned. Kindle Cloud Reader avoids the app store (and Apple’s 30% cut and other stringent conditions) by serving up your Kindle database through your web-browser. It’s basically a password protected web-site that also allows you to allocate offline storage space on your iPad or Mac OS (it’s not yet available for iPhone). Amazon’s move follows in the footsteps of the this year to sidestep iTunes. Cupertino, I think we have a problem.
Brian Hamilton, a reader who reads, is frustrated by what he perceives to be a Kindle limitation. He writes: I have the Kindle app on my iPad as well as a “real” Kindle e-reader. While the books I purchase from Amazon stay in sync, I sometimes add books to the two devices that I got somewhere other than Amazon (, for example). These books don’t stay in sync. Is there any way to make them behave like Amazon’s ebooks?
As some are so fond of saying, “You’re loading it wrong.” It’s like this: Ebooks sold by Amazon are in the Mobi format. These books contain a particular bit of metadata that tells the Kindle reader that page syncing can be carried out with this particular piece of literature. Books that have been converted to Mobi format often lack this metadata. So while you can read them, they won’t sync page information between devices unless you load them in the correct way. The incorrect way is to “sideload” them—meaning copying them from your computer directly to the device as you would if you mounted your Kindle reader as a USB device or added books to the Kindle app on your iPad via iTunes. The way that works is to email these books to your Kindle and iOS device. And Amazon provides a tool for doing exactly that in the form of its application.
Just launch the application and drag any Mobi files you wish to sync into its window. The window will change to show the books you intend to mail as well as a list of Kindle devices registered to your account. Select the devices you wish to send your books to and click Send. The application will upload your books and, eventually, they’ll appear on the devices you selected.
Unlike with sideloaded books, these will stay in sync. Read the first couple of chapters of a book on your, for example, move back to the Home screen, pick up your iPad, launch its Kindle app, select the same book, and you should see a notice asking if you’d like to move to the highest numbered page read on another of your Kindle devices.
Advertisement In the past, an extensive library required lots of shelf space and — if you were traveling — a seriously heavy suitcase. With eReaders, most of that is gone. Although there are still aesthetic pleasures to be had from a good old-fashioned library, hundreds of books on your eReader requires just as much physical space as half a dozen. Traveling light is no longer an issue. You can take that half dozen or few hundred books with you, on the train or abroad. It’s a special kind of freedom that tastes particularly sweet. But an eReader is not all fun and games.
The biggest problem is that, closed off as these devices often times are, it requires unreasonable effort to move books between different devices. Much of that is simplified if you chose Amazon’s Kindle as your partner in crime. Buying books online and getting them on your device is as easy as ever. However, buying books from other eBook stores, or synchronising with your pre-Kindle eBook library still isn’t as easy as it should be.
