Don’t worry Matt, you’re not the last one to know - I guess I am

Roy Schestowitz pointed to this post about the Kindle’s operating system today: Linux. I didn’t know that. Somehow I missed the memo last year when Robert Love wrote about his discovery of Linux at the heart of the Kindle.

I had written about how the Kindle’s content strategy reminded me of open source, but I had no idea that the software running the device was open source.

Pretty darn neat! I’m actually waiting for the new version before starting to wish for a Kindle I’m still stuck on my print books.
