Amazon business plan successful sells their Kindle digital book reader, has plan to leer the digital book reader in the world market, some analysts about the Kindle business said, estimated in internet report on Wednesday that the Kindle would generate $310 million in revenue and $70 million in profit this year for Amazon, rising to $2 billion in revenue and $560 million in profit by 2012.

Citigroup wrote on Wednesday that he expected Kindle digital book reader revenue to reach $1.2 billion next year, or 5 percent of Amazon’s overall revenue. “Kindle’s success highlights the very significant and consistent innovation focus that Amazon has maintained over the past five years and helps hedge the company against the digitization of media products,” he wrote.

So far Amazon.com’s Kindle digital book readers can be read on Apple’s iPhone and as Amazon’s own reader, but now the company expects to make the e-books available also on other gadgets, so in the future digital book reader will display more book formats beyond its own.

The company’s device team has the duty of making the most remarkable purpose-built reading device in the world, and is are going to give the team a competition. It will make Kindle books at the same price of US$9.99 which is also available on the gadgets like iPhone, and other mobile devices as well as other computing devices.

Currently, the latest Kindle digital book reader model has better support for Adobe’s PDF file format, but in the future Kindle digital book readers would support other formats as well.

It will be a rare achievement if Amazon can build two profitable businesses out of the Kindle. Using the iPod, to which it the Kindle is often compared, Apple mainly profits from the hardware. It says the iTunes store is barely better than break-even. In contrast, Cellphone companies  subsidize the sale of phones but profit from monthly service charges.

But Amazon does not want either books or readers to subsidize the other. Instead, the company considered selling the Kindle with a lower upfront price, but requiring a monthly subscription or minimum number of books purchased.

In short, the company did consider selling the Kindle with a lower upfront price, but requiring a monthly subscription or minimum number of books purchased.

Good news for Kindle lovers! After launched day, the new digital book reader has available now. The new Kindle which has a large screen called Kindle DX, in a bid to attract readers who are eager to read documents, newspapers, textbooks and other materials that will gain from a larger screen.

In introducing Kindle DX in , the company is working with textbook publishers and several universities that will offer this new product to students. Besides, It also includes a built-in PDF reader, using Adobe’s mobile reader. Anyone wanting to zoom in on a picture or a chart, the DX lets you do that.

As the size is larger, the keyboard is bigger. Its feedback is a little better than the one on the Kindle 2, the wider DX e-reader makes typing a little awkward. Of course, keyboard feel is one of those things where everybody has their own opinion. All I’m saying is this: a) I have small hands and b) I’ve gotten used to typing with my thumbs on a BlackBerry, so the DX experience was not ideal for me.

Besides, there is a new experimental tab on the main menu, which offers users a simple Web browser, the ability to play MP3 music files you’ve added to your Kindle from your computer and Amazon’s text-to-speech option.

The browser option is labelled “Basic Web” which is fitting. It comes with preloaded bookmarks for pared-down versions of Web sites like Google, CNN and Yelp. If we  try to to subscribe to the newspaper by going to nytimes.com, we will quickly discovere that the browser does not support the full version of the Web that we view on our computers and even now on some smartphones.

New Amazon Kindle digital book reader, called the Kindle DX, the new device is geared toward readers of personal and professional documents, newpapers and magazines incude textbooks, potentially a huge target market.

The device measures one-third of an inch thick. Its 9.7-inch screen offers 1200 x 824 pixels at 150 dpi, and 16 levels of gray. he screen is held within a plastic housing that measures 10.4? tall by 7.2? wide; the unit weighs about 1 pound 3 ounces. Well, it’s going to be useful to convince you on the kindle DX. This timing is good to us. See more kindle DX on video below.

Fifty students of Pace University will receive Kindles DX digital book reader next autumn and other five universities that are trying out this gadget namely Case Western, Princeton, Reed College, Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia, and Arizona State University, will receive the same number.

So far, which classes and curricula that will be able to use Kindle DX are  not known yet, but one thing for sure that will make integrating the Kindle into academic environment a struggle is that besides the schools and students, the faculty members who assign reading for their classes will also have to enroll.

Moreover, for this initial test, there is no detail yet about the number of classes that will offer Kindle-compatible courses, but if there are three or four of those on the kindle, then this will be in a fairly good figure.

In conclusion, Kindle DX or any version of this digital book reader Amazon product, has a lot of potential for the college situation, and it is more reasonable than the idea that a Kindle is a newspaper-saver, though it will take a very long time to arrive at the era.

Amazon is ready to introduce a new Kindle which has a wider screen and has been especially designed for reading newspapers, magazines, and textbooks, and which expectedly will become part of new electronic course material test at six universities this autumn.

This new Kindle, which is likely to be named Kindle DX, is new version of the previous which was launched by the end of 2007. Newspapers which hope that this new version of Amazon.com’s Kindle e-reader will be a rescuer for their besieged businesses may be let down when it is introduced on Wednesday.

Yet, Kindle is likely to attain chances among academics because textbooks have very high prices. Besides, they are hulking and often difficult to get rid once they have been bought. It is rather difficult to sell the second edition of a textbook on the used-book market when the third edition comes out the following year. So theoretically it may be the perfect market for an electronic reader like the Kindle.

Still, although Amazon has signed agreements with some textbook companies and a number of well-known academic institutions, it does not mean that mass of new freshmen throughout the US will come this autumn bringing along Kindles with them.

Several newspaper and magazine publishers are teaming up with consumer-electronics firms to support e-readers that meet the customers’ needs, as the newspaper and magazine firms have felt let down by the Kindle digital book reader from Amazon.com Inc.

Among the companies is Hearst Corp, which is publisher of the San Francisco Chronicle and Houston Chronicle as well as magazines that include Cosmopolitan. Hearst Corp is backing a venture with FirstPaper LLC to create a software platform that will support digital downloads of newspapers and magazines.

The device, which uses digital ink technology from E Ink Corp, the same company that supports the Kindle, is ready to be rolled out in the beginning of next year, and will offer publishers the opportunity to include advertisements.

Moreover, Apple Inc reportedly is preparing to launch a device that could facilitate people in reading digital books and periodicals, which is a prospect some publishers have been waiting for. At the same time, News Corp, the owner of The Wall Street Journal, is also considering to invest in a Kindle competitor.

A new kind of Kindle digital book reader which has a larger screen and some additional features for periodical and academic textbook publishers will be launched soon.

Amazon.com Inc, the manufacturer, has teamed up with several textbook publishing firms to make their materials ready for the device. The new device (Amazon Kindle DX) will contain a more fully functional Web browser  because the current version of the Kindle, which was launched in February, contains a Web browser which is categorized as experimental.

Case Western Reserve plans to compare the experiences of the students who utilize the devices and those who use traditional textbooks.
