Hardware products can be difficult to improve after they reach customers. Unlike software, physical products cannot simply be updated with a new release. In Tangibles: How Software Turns Hardware Into Platforms , Yoel Frischoff explores how companies can overcome this challenge by combining hardware with software, connectivity, and data.

The Kindle provides a useful example of how hardware can become part of a larger reading platform rather than remaining a one-time purchase.
