Today Amazon.com unveiled Kindle for the Web beta, which will allow users to read and share samples of digital books without having to download additional software. Amazon hopes that the new service will be used by members of their associate program to embed Kindle book samples on their website or blog. Whenever a sale is completed using the embedded links, website owners will receive referral fees – a win/win situation for both Amazon and program members.
The new service will allow readers to change the font size and line spacing, adjust the background color, and share books via Facebook, Twitter, and e-mail. They can also embed free chapters on their own websites. You can check out samples of the embeds by visiting the websites of authors Karen McQuestion
and John Miller.

Random Comment Book Gives You a Voice Without Speaking
