@author is new feature in a limited beta release on Kindle and Amazon Author Pages that connects readers with their favorite writers and their books. It's easy: Readers can ask questions directly from their Kindles, or post them to Amazon Author Pages. Anyone who has purchased items from Amazon.com can reply to an existing question or ask a new one, and all visitors to Amazon.com can read any current question or response.

Nice feature for authors who enjoy that kind of thing.

From a reader's viewpoint, and for small-time authors looking to connect with their readership, I think it's pretty cool. Seems to me that the deluge of responses might be a bit overwhelming for the bestselling authors they've chosen for their beta program, though.
