Stay Curious My Friends

Amazon I really need you to add an easy service that notifies me when author’s release new books. Especially as I’m trying more and more independent authors through my Kindle and it would help them market!

There is demand too! About to try some other services that do it, but it’s a pain. I would like an easy interface that lists any books I’ve read, let me rate them, and track the authors new works.
*As per a previous post I would like an iTunes for books too. It is nearly impossible for me to tell what I have read and haven’t on the Kindle with 400+books, or classify them. If you build something with a clean UI will probably get more reviews too on your website.

I highly recommend the book Business Model Generation (Amazon Link), it is an invaluable tool in examining your business, new business ideas, new product ideas, etc. They basically divide a business into the following canvas that helps you sort everything out, take a look at the canvas which will explain everything.

The book rocks because they go through so many examples based on companies like Apple, Google, Skype, etc. And through different business models and business model theories such as freemium, open businesses, multi sided platforms, long tail / niche, unbundling models, etc. Just great stuff that spawns ideas. I ended up with about 5 pages of notes to think about on some of our current businesses.
