Is the book you are looking for not on the Kindle list? You can now click on a button at the left of an Amazon screen for a book that is NOT currently available for the Kindle. Amazon will notify the publisher for you that there is demand for the book in a Kindle version. Hopefully this will prompt the publisher to publish a Kindle version of that book.
Amazon said on its blog:
Our goal is to make every title available for Kindle, and to that end some eagle-eyed Kindle owners and enthusiasts have already noticed and been using a new tool to help us do just that. If you’re frustrated that a physical edition of a book is not (yet) available in Kindle version, just look below the book’s image on its product detail page and you’ll find a box that reads, “Please tell the publisher.” Click on the “I’d like to read this book on Kindle” link and we’ll forward your request.
