The Kindle and business books  2 steps forward, 1 backward

The Kindle and business books 2 steps forward, 1 backward

By Vinnie Mirchandani on March 6, 2012

Shame on me for assuming my book would come out on the Kindle after the hardback. That’s so one book ago. Amazon (and B&N) show a March 27 hardcopy ship date, but they released the Kindle version February 28. Makes sense for the electronic version to come out earlier. So I downloaded a copy and […]

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 […]

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 […]

The Kno is Not a Tablet.  It’s a Workout Device

The Kno is Not a Tablet. It’s a Workout Device

By Zoli Erdos on August 12, 2010

Seriously.  At 5 and a half pounds it’s not exactly a lightweight tablet you would want to hold for hours. I have a very simple test for you: if you have an average 14”-15” laptop around, flip it open, hold it vertically, just like this: … and tell me how long you could comfortably hold […]

Living in the Present is SO Yesterday

Living in the Present is SO Yesterday

By Merv Adrian on August 7, 2010

It’s an occupational hazard of living in the future that analysts can begin to ignore the present – unless we make it a practice to seek it out. Here in the Valley, that can be difficult, when being a week behind the latest version of something the rest of the world hasn’t heard of yet […]

Amazon has 70-80 percent of E-Book Market?

By Bob Warfield on August 2, 2010

Great article by David Carnoy, and thanks to Techmeme for putting me on to it.  That statistic, if true, is amazing for Amazon. Some of the other things said really rang true.  For example, that despite the publishers (with Steve Jobs help) having run roughshod over Amazon to drive up e-book prices, customers are voting […]

The Kindle as Illuminated Manuscript. The Read/Write eBook Arrives, not a moment too soon

The Kindle as Illuminated Manuscript. The Read/Write eBook Arrives, not a moment too soon

By James Governor on June 21, 2010

Yay! I wrote a post a while ago – Reading is Writing: Illuminating The Digital Manuscript – that argued the role of annotation can be as important as primary content when it comes to reading, learning, and knowledge. Celebrate marginalia! I believe this is the future of digital publishing. Learn from open source. The idea […]

Why You Shouldn’t Buy an iPad

Why You Shouldn’t Buy an iPad

By Jeff Nolan on April 3, 2010

I’ve already voiced my belief that the iPad will ultimately be a disappointment. It’s certain that Apple will sell millions of the devices to technophile early adopters but the prospects for the broader market are mixed and considering that Jobs has declared the iPad the “most important thing I’ve ever done” well I can’t help […]

iPad musings - How big is the market for this anyway?

iPad musings – How big is the market for this anyway?

By Brian Sommer on February 8, 2010

Maybe I’m the only person who’s not doing handstands re: the new iPad. It’s a slick device but is the market really there for it? Here are some points to ponder….
