(Unfortunately), the iPod and its bretheren.

Not exactly the Kindle Plus (a name I made up recently: it doesn't exist.) But its seeds may be here, from the NY Times today:

"Starting Wednesday, owners of these Apple devices can download a free application, Kindle for iPhone and iPod Touch, from Apple’s App Store. The software will give them full access to the 240,000 e-books for sale on Amazon.com, which include a majority of best sellers."

Assuming that these books are made available at Kindle prices (does anyone know for sure?), this could mean the eventual death of the Kindle.

And look at this:

"Amazon also said its recently unveiled Whispersync function would work for people who own a Kindle and one of the Apple devices." (I guess that means you download with the Kindle and transfer to the iPod)

Also involving Amazon, I see that I can buy movies from Amazon on my Roku Netflix device now.

So the world is changing fast.
