I haven’t been to my Amazon Kindle portal for a while, no real need to go there, and it seems that the portal has been updated and I didn’t know about it. Gravitational Pull has an article on the experience with the new portal site. Here’s an excerpt. You can read the whole thing here:
So I was delighted to discover today (via the always excellent Yahoo group KindleKorner) that Amazon has unveiled a new web portal for Kindle users that improves the experience of using your reader and opens the door to a number of side uses and other possibilities. The site sits at http://kindle.amazon.com and is not to be confused with http://www.amazon.com/kindle/ which is where you go to buy a Kindle. The new site, and improvements to the usual “Manage Your Kindle” section of the regular Amazon site, also seems to be looking forward to the day when more people, or families, own multiple Kindles.

Multiple Kindles—at those prices? And with my whole family’s books tied up in that DRM nightmare? Ha ha.

jkonthe run is reporting that one of the cool features of the kindle.amazon.com portal is it will sync and save all your notes on your kindle books.
Now if they turn that kindle-portal into a sort of facebook site, college kids in the same courses (even different universities that use the same texts) can swap their notes on textbooks when exams are coming up.
Imagine if we could access Auden’s notes on the texts when he took Tolkien’s course.
