As I thought about what to post for the quick definitions of Amazon, Goodreads, and the Kindle, I decided to type them into Google and see what came up. The results were concise definitions and were obviously well-worded. They said exactly what I was thinking, and while I'm totally cool with re-writing them and switching around some wording, are we allowed to just use these as the basic definitions and credit Wikipedia or something?
Amazon.com:
Amazon.com started out in 1995 as an online bookstore. It has since diversified to one of the
Internet’s largest markets, selling a broad range of merchandise and
services. Amazon has also expanded the
world of literature by creating eBook Readers such as the Kindle and its
various versions, as well as linking with social media sites like
Goodreads.com.
The Kindle:
The Amazon Kindle is a series of e-book readers designed and
marketed by Amazon.com. Amazon Kindle devices enable users to shop for,
download, browse, and read e-books, newspapers, magazines and other digital
media via wireless networking.
Goodreads.com:
Goodreads is an Amazon company and "social
cataloging" website founded in December 2006 and launched in January 2007
by Otis Chandler, a software engineer and entrepreneur, and Elizabeth Chandler. On the Goodreads website, users can add books
to their personal bookshelves, rate and review books, see what their friends
and authors are reading, participate in discussion boards and groups on a
variety of topics, and get suggestions for future reading choices based on
their reviews of previously read books.
