LOS ANGELES — For adult content marketers seeking opportunities for growth, catering to the latest technologies makes sense; technologies such as the Kindle Fire.
A seven inch Android powered tablet making headlines (with a rumored near-nine inch version coming in 2012), the Kindle Fire features 8GB of internal memory, which is reportedly enough to store around 80 apps, plus 10 movies or 800 songs or 6,000 books — displaying its content for up to eight hours on a single charge. This content is viewed on a sharp, 1024 x 600 pixel resolution, 169 ppi, 16 million color display, featuring clear stereo sound — providing a tempting palette for adult artists to create upon.

Rowntree is upbeat about the device’s potential, telling XBIZ that Kindle customers are extremely loyal and a surprisingly good market for porn.
“Kindle users have proven a profitable demographic for us,” Rowntree told XBIZ. “With the rapidly increasing performance of the platform, as evidenced by Kindle Fire, and the equally swift decline in pricing, this is definitely a technology worth developing.”
One of the major benefits of the platform is the ease of distribution for its content — unencumbered by big-name “store” and “market” policies.
“All eBook reader devices are a little different in how to put eBooks on them, but the tried and true method for most is to simply download the format type that applies to your device,” Rowntree explains, “Then copy the books from your computer.............................
