Guitar Tablature on the Amazon Kindle?
If you are anything like us here at Fretbase, you are regularly printing tablature from a variety of different websites. Once printed, you immediately attempt to play those tabs on your trusted guitar. So far so good.
But then it gets ugly. After being played, that tablature can end up anywhere - often in piles with other tablature that makes finding your original printout so difficult that you end up just printing another copy - and then the process repeats.
Lately we’re wondering whether this could be solved with Amazon’s Kindle. It is portable and displays text and images clearly on its screen. Couldn’t we get our guitar tablature delivered directly to the Kindle the same way we get songs directly on our iPods? It sounds like a killer app to us.
Have you tried getting tablature on a Kindle? Please let us know about it in the comments.

I think this is a great idea, and a wonderful use for a Kindle.
Me too. Still, I haven’t heard of anybody offering this. Just a matter of time I think…
I should add that I just found some discussion on this on Amazon:

I’m waiting for a friend to pass on their Kindle V1 and then I’ll load it with guitar tabs. Since the Kindle can be used to display PDFs, I think it’ll be possible to produce a single PDF of all my tabs — load in on the Kindle and rock n roll (pun intended). Visit socialmeteor.com to see what happened….I’ll blog about it.
