Dan Shipper Daydreams a Better Kindle

Dan Shipper, on every.to:

I decided to pretend I was a Kindle product manager. I came up with a few grand dreams for the future of reading that are totally divorced from the corporate and practical reality of working at Amazon. Consider it a call to arms for the future of books. A rallying cry to make the Kindle actually great.

Great exercise. The funny thing, the result isn’t really the Kindle I’d want. But agree it’ll be much better.

Fun wishful thinking of what Amazon could do with the Kindle. For me, most of his wishes are almost here with my Leaf 2. Still, really shows how software stagnant the Kindle platform is.
