Buenas,
yesterday I commented that it had published volume 1 of 50 pages on ALM withVisual Studio 2012 and Team Foundation Service on Amazon.com for €0.89.
What happened was that many people associated to Amazon.com with readers Kindle (physicists) and clear, it seems to read the book of ALM should have an eReader… This isn’t so!
In addition to eReaders, Kindle as platform has reading eBooks for cross-platform applications such as Windows 8Windows Phone 8, iPad, Ifon, , etc. And the way in which have implemented it is great.
The best way to explain it is to show an example to install Kindle on Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8, take and read my book in these devices.
The first thing to do is to search the Kindle app in the Store of Windows 8 . The application is free and installs in seconds.
Once you install it, you must sign in with your Amazon account. This account is that allows you to synchronize your content in the Amazon Cloud.
Once inside Amazon you can see all the books that you have purchased or even that you have in ‘local’ to use the Kindle as a reader.
One of the good things that has Amazon, as platform is that once you buy a book, you can then view it on all your devices.
In the case of the application for Windows 8 , as is the case with the physical Kindle, you can also add watermarks, comment, translate, etc.
The same model can take the application for Windows Phone 8. You are looking for in the Store, install it, you identify yourself and when you enter it you see your personal collection of books.
Functionality that I love is that if you access book from your mobile, you will see that automatically takes you to the position where you left to read in the app for Windows 8 .
I with this model, I read parts of books in the metro and then continue with the same with Kindle Touch bedside at night, because that also syncs via Wifi.
These features “multi platform” is one of the reasons that led me to use Amazon.com as a platform for the publication of the book. They have a very simple publishing model and that works great.
Buy the book: http://amzn.to/Z2t78P
