Actually, it would not make much sense to try BookCrossing with the Amazon Kindle (or any other downloadable-content e-book reader); there's no physical book that will travel around. Oh, sure, the BC site does have an e-book category, but that's almost an afterthought and unless it refers to physical media of some kind (an e-text file on a CD, for example) I've never found it very appealing; if you want to share comments on a title, there are lots of sites that make that easier than BC. Since BC's focus is on tracking the actual journies of individual copies of books, any use of it with ephemeral content like an e-book reader's downloads would be a pretty radical change, in my opinion.
There are some e-books that are pre-loaded and (I think) read-only; those one certainly could BookCross, since the physical gadgets along with the specific book(s) they contained would be doing the traveling. But that's a different case. If the Kindle, or other downloadable e-book readers, become wildly popular, and if there's enough desire among BCers to have some way to - not track, exactly, but share comments on them - then perhaps BC could add features to handle them more effectively. [While I prefer books that don't require batteries and/or an internet connection of some kind, I can see situations where an e-book reader might be very, very handy, but I won't be the first in line to try one out - I think I'll wait and see how the technology shakes out!] -GoryDetails See the books I've set free at: http://bookcrossing.com/referral/GoryDetails Have you told a friend today? http://bookcrossing.com/tellafriend Archives and email list settings: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BookCrossing Yahoo!
