Amazon has to be the slowest moving company in the history of the Universe! It's been months since they announced that they were "opening the code" (or whatever) so that specific 'apps' could be developed for the Kindle. I immediately became excited as I visualized hundreds of entrepreneurs burning the midnight oil using their creative genius to create interesting apps no one has thought of yet in order to pry my money out of my pockets.

Aaaaaannnndddd.....Bupkiss!

I was (am) envisioning supported 'apps' (like my Iphone) alowing me to put my own sleep mode screensavers and fonts galore! folder apps and ways to organize my annotations and notes. Perhaps a calendar app or two, maybe text based games aaaannnddddddd..... BUPKISS! I look on google for Kindle apps aaaaannndddd.....

etc....

Where are they?
