Kindle Fire:  WiFi Problems Fixed, Cool Device!

Kindle Fire: WiFi Problems Fixed, Cool Device!

By Bob Warfield on December 4, 2011

I wanted to follow up on my unhappy post about Kindle Fire.  When I first got the device, I couldn’t do anything with it because I couldn’t connect to WiFi. As a quick aside, having had side-by-side 3G and WiFi on my iPad, I really like having the 3G and frequently turn WiFi off.  I […]

Wait Before Buying a Kindle Fire:  WiFi Problems

Wait Before Buying a Kindle Fire: WiFi Problems

By Bob Warfield on November 28, 2011

Got my Kindle Fire a few days ago, eagerly anticipating a morning of shiny new object joy followed by a nice Thanksgiving dinner.  No joy.  My Kindle Fire will not connect to WiFi and it can’t do much of anything without it. This is rapidly becoming a known problem.  The Amazon support boards are filled […]

Amazon's Kindle Fire diverges the Tablet market

Amazon’s Kindle Fire diverges the Tablet market

By David Terrar on October 5, 2011

In his book The Origin of Species, Charles Darwin called divergence the driving force that creates a new species.  Last week Amazon enhanced their Kindle range of e-readers, but also applied some divergence to the tablet market by extending in to a new sub-category of mobile tablet devices with the Kindle Fire.  I think it’s […]

Apple’s Crazy Ecosystem and the Prospects for an Amazon Pad

Apple’s Crazy Ecosystem and the Prospects for an Amazon Pad

By Bob Warfield on April 18, 2011

I read with interest Marco Arment’s speculation about an iPad competitor potentially being in the relatively near-term offing by Amazon: I’d bet on Amazon releasing a true tablet, competing more directly with the iPad than the Kindle currently does, in the possibly near future. While I don’t doubt Amazon could launch a tablet and very […]

Bottom of the Pyramid of Digital Media

Bottom of the Pyramid of Digital Media

By Basab Pradhan on March 2, 2011

If you read this blog regularly you should be used to my constant carping about the lack of imagination in the music industry due to which the price per song is stuck at about $1. While the music industry in the West and in Bollywood is doing its best ostrich imitation, in another product category […]

Borders Books In Trouble Due to eBooks

Borders Books In Trouble Due to eBooks

By Bob Warfield on January 2, 2011

There was a point when our family went to a Borders or other bookstore at least once a week and sometimes twice.  We would invariably spend up to $100 a trip.  No more, and it seems like others have curtailed their book-buying visits too. I just read that Borders has not been paying publishers in an […]

No deal for the Deal Architect

By Vinnie Mirchandani on July 3, 2010

I felt like screaming like the man in the movie Godfather who wakes up to find the head of his horse, Khartoum in bed. I opened a package and all it had was a scalp – the top of a package I had sent a week ago with copies of my new book. On it wa…
