Engadget.com recently reported that Amazon will soon roll out a "Kindle Development Kit" that will allow folks to create "active content" for the popular e-reader.
Although Amazon doesn't specify in its announcement what "active content" means, it more than likely means games. Heck, the image accompanying the announcement (below) shows a Sudoku-sporting Kindle.
It would be great if a few text adventures--or even graphic adventures--appear alongside all of the Brain Age-esque, solitaire and Sodoku games that are sure to swarm the Kindle Store when the service launches later this year.

Can't ANYTHING just be what it is?! The Kindle is a READING device. The Playstation is a GAMING machine. PIZZA HUT IS NOT A PASTA RESTAURANT!
I don't understand this awful fascination with everything being everything else all of a sudden. We need a move towards purity in device functions.
Hear, hear! I agree wholeheartedly, Justin :)
I'm glad SOMEONE does! Everyone else thinks I'm crazy. "Why shouldn't the PS3 play movies and access the internet? WHy shouldn't Pizza Hut serve pasta?" they ask. Bah!
I think the Pizza Hut problem bothers me even more than the PS3 problem :)
