Want to take a break from reading? Try one of Amazon's new literary games
Amazon has launched two games, Every Word and Shuffled Row. Shuffled Row presents players with a number of letter tiles and challenges them to make as many words from the randomly selected combination; if a tile is not used within a certain time it is replaced with a new one. Every Word asks users to find a number of words that have been hidden in a scramble of letters.
Although the Amazon Kindle platform is available for external developers to make games on, these first two offerings have been built in-house by Amazon. With limited computing power and a mono display, future games are also likely to be word-based. EA and Sonic Boom have both already said they will be developing Kindle games. Maybe you are not as big as software developement house, but if you would like to try your hand at creating applications for Kindles, then start by downloading the Kindle Developer Kit.
