  In 2007,a small team of Amazon employees had been working for a few years on a new e-book reader project called Kindle. It's now been a decade since Amazon unveiled the first Kindle to the world,selling out its initial inventory in less than six hours. Since then,the device has torn through the publishing industry. "Kindle" has become a platform,not a device. It entered the market and completely took up it.

  The Kindle team always has two goals: to perfectly imitate a paper book,and to extend and improve the reading experience. That's what readers want,too. In a world filled with distractions and notifications and devices that do everything,the Kindle's lack of features becomes its greatest benefit.

  But readers also want to read everywhere,in places and ways a paperback can't manage. They want more tools,more features,more options,more stuff to do. Amazon's still working out how to satisfy both sides. Whatever route it takes,the next decade of Kindle is likely to be even more disruptive than the last. First it changed the book business. Next it might help change books themselves.

  For a decade,Amazon's constantly offered new ways for people to read books. But as platforms change,books haven't,and the incompatibility(不相容) is beginning to show.

  The next phase for the digital book seems likely to not resemble print at all. Instead,the next step is for authors,publisher,and readers to take advantage of all the tools available now and figure out how to reinvent reading. Amazon and the book world are beginning to figure out what's possible.

  Future users might flip between reading and listening with the touch of a button,ask a digital assistant for more information on the plot or the feelings of the characters,texting with characters themselves,going to important real-world locations to start a chapter or find a clue and even helping write the narrative.
