Overview

Project Overview

Kindle

Amazon wants to increase customer engagement by introducing a social aspect to the Kindle reading experience.

The Problem/Opportunity

Many people enjoy having access to books through the Amazon Kindle app. The app provides a pleasant reading experience, but lacks the social aspect that many readers desire. People love to discuss what they’re reading! Amazon wants to introduce a socialaspect to Kindle, allowing readers to comment on and discuss the books they’re reading.
