Kindle Gets Twitter, Facebook

A software update being sent to Amazon's Kindle e-reader gives users access to Facebook, Twitter, and several other services. The updates will allow readers to sort books and documents into collections, share book passages through Twitter and Facebook, and password-lock their Kindle. They will also be able to choose larger fonts and zoom in PDF docs.

Some users have already received the update. Amazon says all Kindle users will receive the update by late May.
