Amazon figured out a way to make its Kindle software compatible with just about any Internet-ready platform: Shuttle the software to the Web.
That's part of the idea behind Amazon's "Kindle for the Web" project, which was released in beta form this morning. It's incredibly easy to use, just click the "Read first chapter FREE" button on selected eBooks and you'll receive a sample directly in your browser without having to download or install anything.
Bloggers and website owners can also embed samples of Kindle books on their sites and earn referral fees whenever someone clicks through and completes a purchase.
"With Kindle for the Web, it's easier than ever for customers to sample Kindle books - there's no downloading or installation required," said Dorothy Nicholls, Director, Amazon Kindle. "Kindle for the Web is also a great way for bloggers and authors to promote books on their websites by letting visitors read a chapter without leaving their site."
