Going through my feeds, I came across this article about fantasy writer Peter Brett who wrote over 100,000 words of his epic novel, The Warded Man on an HP iPAQ 6515. I saw this initially on Crunchgear by the way. Can you imagine? I have a rough time tapping out a e-mail and could not [...]

A Day In The Life Of A Kindle Owner
At its best, technology integrates with the rest of our lives so completely that it is barely noticeable. And yet, were we to suddenly discover ourselves without it, we would quickly realize how much we have grown to depend on this gadget or that. Moreover, while unboxings and full reviews are exciting, it is often [...]
Put Your eBook Library on Your Kindle
If you’re like me, you’ve got GOBS of eBooks, likely in more than one format, all over the place. I’ve got tons of books in MS Reader format (now THERE’S a blast from the past that most of us would like to forget), eReader format, MobiPocket format, etc. Some of the books that I have [...]
Is Barnes & Noble working with Sprint on a Kindle-killer?
TheStreet.com is reporting that Barnes & Noble may be partnering with Sprint on their own eBook reader to rival Amazon’s Kindle. Last month, Barnes & Noble purchased eBook seller FictionWise for a cool $15.7 million, which would fuel the notion that B&N is looking towards ramping up their own eBook store. The Kindle uses Whispernet [...]

Amazon’s Kindle App for iPhone and Kindle Books support Color
I’ve been playing with the new Kindle app for iPhone. For the record, I do NOT own a Kindle and don’t plan to buy one until they offer a color screen. When I read about the app availability earlier today, I took a look at it’s description on the app store. I realized there was [...]
Amazon Kindle for iPhone now available
The Amazon Kindle is now available for iPhone. No real advance notice in this one other than the slides that Amazon used during the Kindle 2 press conference indicating that the ebook reader would be available on other mobile devices. I set it up on my iPhone in under 30 seconds. Downloaded a book from [...]
Unboxing the Amazon Kindle 2
I was starting to feel like I was one of the last people to get theirs, especially after enviously reading Dan’s emails and Doug‘s post about their Kindle 2s, but today my Amazon Kindle 2 finally showed up. I also got the Cole Haan Brown pebbly leather cover to go with it, since Amazon neglected [...]
Justifying the Kindle
After reading David Pogue’s New York Time’s article on the Kindle2 this morning (The Kindle: Good Before, Better Now), I posted the following tweet, which simultaneously updated my Facebook status: One of my Facebook friends, Tahelia Wagner, commented on my update by saying: I don’t get it. I completely understand the desirability of carrying multiple [...]
Kindle2 Cases- Some Nice Choices On The Way
The Kindle2 looks great, and a number of us have already ordered ours. There are tons of improvements over the first generation including size (it is thin!), speed (pages apparently turn much faster), and internal memory (2GB!). Unfortunately, there are some definite steps back too. Chief among them… no case! I don’t like this trend [...]
Kindle 2 announced – Whispersync is what everyone should be excited about
As expected, Amazon today drew the curtain back from their newly designed Kindle 2 device. Available February 24, 2009 for $359 (all existing orders will automatically upgrade to a Kindle 2) the specs are indeed an upgrade over the original Kindle. Also, the leaked images appear to have been exactly on the money. Some of [...]
Amazon Kindle 2 Officialish Images Leaked
Meet the new Amazon Kindle 2. At least we think this is the new Amazon Kindle. Web site MobileRead has an array of photos depicting the alleged Amazon Kindle 2 eBook reader being held by a bevy of model types. The most interesting image compares the Kindle thickness to that of a pencil. Shots of [...]
The Amazon Kindle Review
I love reading; always have. I remember the joy of checking out books from the library when I was a child: the thrill of finding a book that could transport me to other worlds and situations…and the sorrow when the time eventually came to return “my” book. It was as if I had separation anxiety [...]
GearChat: The Demise of Print Media and a Possible Reason for the Amazon Kindle
Once again, we invite you to eavesdrop on our email conversations… Wayne: R.I.P. … the Internet slays another print publication… Mitchell: I was a subscriber to PC World for about 5 years, and then I realised that I was paying for a magazine with content that I had read weeks earlier on the internet. It [...]
