The Kindle Sync Model

摘要

Online book merchant Amazon's Kindle app-availablefor PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry, Windows phones and Android phones-serves as a good model for mobile PLM app developers to follow. Suppose you have the Kindle reading app installed on your iPhone, iPad, PC and Kindle hardware. You may read a title you've purchased from the Kindle store on any of those devices. And if you highlight certain passages using your iPhone Kindle app, when you launch the same title on another device, you'll find it has wirelessly synchronized your highlights to the device you're using. Furthermore, based on the furthest location you've read to on the previous app, Kindle will ask whether you'd like to go to that page when you launch the book on another device.
