1.  Kill the original Kindle application.
The Kindle application, while a cool idea, is flawed in many ways.  They can kill it off, then…

2.  Relaunch Stanza as Amazon Stanza, enable Kindle library sync.
I’ve debated with myself western union texas arlington back and forth about this – does Amazon ditch the Stanza brand and relaunch the application as the new Kindle?  I wouldn’t.  Why?  Stanza is already an established brand Generic Levitra amoxicillin online Super Active+ Online Pharmacy | Buy Levitra generic female viagra Super Active+ | Cheap Levitra Super Active+ | Order Generic Levitra Super Active+ Online without Prescription in its own right, and naming an iPhone application “Kindle” never made much sense to me, anyway.  The Kindle is a device.  It’s sort of like calling the email application “Laptop”.  Now they can Ampicillin online differentiate between the Buy Cialis two – Kindle is the ebook device and Stanza is the iPhone app.

3.  online cheap buy acomplia buy levitra Drugstore Move to a standardized ebook format.
Hey, never Tadacip say never.  Who would have thought eight years ago that Apple would offer DRM-free music tracks?  Amazon moving toward an open standard for ebooks means that their users have access to their books on a lot more readers.  At the least, it might help them sell some more ebooks.  As far as losing Kindle sales, all they have to do is ensure that they have the best ebook device on the market.  With the lead they have right now, is that so hard?
