I've noticed a trend online recently of new services whose main feature is that they hardly do anything. Twitter was the first major site in this new trend, which boldly asserted its limitations as features. “You can't send more than 140 characters!” “No pictures!” “No formatting!” “It does hardly...

There are lots of Kindle vs iPad comparisons in the first set of iPad reviews - Unfortunately, their Kindle, iPad comparisons are half-baked. None of the reviewers read a couple of books each on the Kindle, iPad and took notes on the differences in experience, reading speed, eye strain and so forth.

This post is about three potential directions Authors and Publishers could go in – Target people who don’t really buy books and try to convert them.

If you remember the shitstorm that surrounded Kindle’s text-to-voice feature, you’ll know that this is a bold move. Wired noticed that on its updated iBooks page, under...

According to ChangeWave, the Kindle is going to have a hard time surviving the incoming iPad wave. In a 3171-people survey on Amazon.com users looking to buy an ebook reader, 40% said they were planning to buy the iPad. Comparatively, 28% wanted to get the Amazon Kindle, despite having a longer life, more titles in the store, and allegedly offering...
We can dispense with any speculation that the HP Slate , a consumer tablet device demoed recently, will enjoy any success at all. Yes, the video looks awesome. But the bottom line is that it's a Windows 7 PC with 1 GB of RAM. It's going to suck. And it has other problems, too. Read the whole story .
