kindle lover?

it's no secret that i adore my most constant companion, the kindle.

today, kindle news infiltrated the geek blogs, and if you happen to be a kindle owner & lover, consider this my psa to make sure you don't miss it.  i mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, the software will eventually be pushed to all kindles, but if you want it now, you can have it now!

the update doesn't come with too many features, but there are a couple that are absolutely download worthy as far as i'm concerned:

1. real page numbers - while i think real page numbers have many glorious uses, i'm just excited that i can appropriately update my goodreads status

2. public notes - you know that really cool feature where you can highlight quotes or make notes?  now you can make them public.  that means you're friends can find you and follow you and see what quotes you're loving and notes you're making.  obviously this goes both ways (assuming you both make your notes public).  the other truly great advantage for me is that i have always been a quote collector, and i keep my quotes in one giant file.  currently i have had to manually enter any quotes collected into my db, but now i can copy/paste....which, trust me, makes my life a lot easier.

if you're interested in the update, you can get detailed instructions here. and if you want more information about making your notes public, seeing your collected annotations, etc., click here.

let me know when you get your public groove going, so i can follow you!
