Kindle ebooks to be available on more plattforms!

Amazon's Kindle App for the iPhone was a definite clue, and now Jeff Bezos is just flat stating it: the Kindle hardware doesn't really matter—Amazon's long game is all about content.

Speaking at a conference this week, Bezos laid out his vision for the Kindle brand in full. Core to his plan is that the Kindle hardware and Kindle book divisions have an, uhh, open relationship:

"The device team has the job of making the most remarkable purpose-built reading device in the world. We are going to give the device team competition. We will make Kindle books, at the same $9.99 price points, available on the iPhone, and other mobile devices and other computing devices."

good news indeed!

cheers,
