Another item for my Kindle wishlist

Posted: March 24th, 2009 | Author: Alex | Filed under: Kindle | No Comments »

I enjoy reading scientific and other non-fiction books. Those tend to come with bibliographies or otherwise make references to other books or authors within the text. I would love to have the ability to quickly look up the mentioned book and/or author in the Kindle store. It is pretty cumbersome to have to enter a search query, navigate the results list, etc. Ideally this would be as easily accessible as the two-click Dictionary lookup that the Kindle already provides.

Thinking of this makes me wish there was an API available for developers to experiment and research with the textual information and build interesting applications on top of. This is especially true as Kindle content is accessible on the IPhone and in the future hopefully on other devices.
