Facebook Comes to Kindle
Man, Facebook just can’t be escaped, can it? The new Kindle 2.5 software update adds Facebook and Twitter support to the e-reader, which means there’s officially not a single gadget out there that doesn’t connect to the social network sites. Okay, so my toaster can’t access Facebook yet. Just MySpace.
The Kindle 2.5 update also adds more useful features, such as the ability to pan and zoom while viewing PDFs, the ability to organize your books in collections, and highlighted passage sharing, which will show you what chunks of text your friends found relevant in their e-books.
Obviously, the Kindle’s display won’t allow for all the features of Facebook and Twitter, but c’mon – do we really need it to?
