I have no idea if this will work, but I do wonder what it looks like to you out there in internet-ia. This new Kindle previewer for web seems very nifty, but is it? If so, please do let me know!

1. Does it work? Yes – It first took me to a web based, two column display. Form there, one option took me to the process needed to download the free PC Kindle reader (which I did not do). Another option too me to the Kindle Cloud reader, again a nice two column display with larger font.
2. Nice features that could justify this approach to you: A (possibly) quick way to get a sample in front of a potential audience. It also allows the reader to share this connection (as I have just done). It also is a neat way to introduce your fans to the Kindle Cloud Reader – which I had not used before.
2. Would I use it? This is a tougher question. Every since I won a Kindle Paperwhite over a year ago from Rysa Walker I have been hooked on using it for all of my reading. While I do have an Kindle Fire 8.9 (before the HD and HDX came out) I no longer do any reading of fiction on that device, but it is nice for looking at the book covers in color. Also, I do very little web browsing on it because the browser is too slow. The majority of my web browsing is on my PC with a nice large screen for my older eyes.
So, I would have to go with a strong “maybe”.
