Have you ever bought a book off Amazon and wished you had it on your Kindle, too? Now you can. Last week, Amazon launched Kindle MatchBook, which lets you buy a Kindle version of physical books you’ve bought on the site as far back as 1995. Not every title is included, but thousands of books are currently enrolled in the program with more on the way. Head over to Amazon.com/kindlematchbook to find out which books you’ve bought are eligible. Amazon will give you the option to buy – for $2.99, $1.99, $0.99 or free – any books enrolled in the program. Amazon said Matchbook was “one of the most requested features from customers,” and is similar to Amazon AutoRip, which gives customers a free mp3 version of many CDs or vinyl records purchased through Amazon. As we move into an almost entirely digital culture, Amazon is doing its part to bring your book collection into the 21st Century. If you want in, check out Amazon MatchBook today.
