Amazon Kindle is a great e-book reader and still one of the best regardless of what Sony and B&N have introduced to the market. Kindle makes reading convenient on the go, but Amazon has been surprisingly slow in improving the platform to make the Kindle the best device to read books on more effectively. Amazon [...]

The e-book reader market is rapidly becoming one big red ocean. The market is still not fully mature in a sense that there is a long way to go before we see an e-book reader that could excite both the average Joe and the early adopters. Nook and Kindle are two good options if you [...]

It’s funny how a lot of people take the wireless service that they receive on their Kindle for granted. A lot of us have gotten used to the service so much that we can’t remember how things were done before. Nothing’s perfect of course, and many Kindle owners are complaining about the costs associated with [...]

There are a lot of people who go back and forth between buying a netbook and an e-book reader these days. These devices are not necessarily interchangeable, but in these tough times, people prefer not spending more than they have on gadgets. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could get the best of both worlds [...]

I know. Who still owns a Kindle 1, right? Kindle 1.0 may seem outdated these days, but there are still a lot of people who own and cherish their first generation Kindle. If you have been lucky and your Kindle has survived till now, there is no reason to get rid of your Kindle just [...]

If you thought Nook was the only Android e-book reader in town, think again. Android on handheld devices is growing fast, and more e-book readers are starting to realize the value of taking advantage of the platform to offer a better reading experience to their customers. Using Google Android opens the door to third-party apps [...]

If you have read the whole piece that Amazon put together to promote Kindle, you’d want to take your Kindle to a beach as well. Let’s face it. What more fun than sitting on sand and reading a cool book, right? Now here is the problem. There are plenty of things that can damage your [...]

You heard that right. B&N may have one of the best e-book readers on the market in Nook. There is no question that the device is capable of holding its own against Amazon Kindle 2. But what if someone is looking for an alternative to Kindle DX? Barnes & Nobles now has you covered by [...]

So we have been hearing about all kinds of e-book reader devices coming up in the next few months. Of course, not all these new models are expected to survive, and a lot of companies are just getting their feet wet to find out whether the market is a viable one for them. But some [...]

Nook may not ultimately be the device that kills Amazon Kindle, but it seems to have created a sense of urgency for Amazon (that we have not seen in the past few months). After announcing a few days ago that Kindle books will be available to read on PCs, there is good reason to believe [...]

Just a couple of days ago, people were talking about how Nook allows you to sync your device with your other gadgets and even with your PC and Kindle doesn’t. Amazon didn’t take long to address the situation. Amazon Kindle for PC will allow you to buy books from Amazon and read them on your [...]

Another day, another aggressive move on Amazon’s part. I did predict that Amazon would drop the U.S. version of Kindle 2 sometime soon but did not expect it to be so soon. The company has just discontinued Kindle 2.0 with Sprint. In addition, Kindle International can be purchased for $259. That is going to open [...]

As expected, B&N finally launched its e-book reader yesterday, and it has already generated quite a buzz. Of course, when you call your e-book reader “the most advanced” on the market, people listen, right? In reality, people are excited about some of the advantages that Nook has over Kindle 2.0. Nook may not have the [...]

As mentioned in previous posts, the year 2010 is going to be one tough year for all parties involved in the e-book market. The competition level is reaching new heights and many companies are joining the competition to get a piece of this lucrative pie. Consider Barnes & Nobles among the companies that want to [...]

I have been a fan of Plastic Logic’s product since I saw one of their early presentations at DEMO. I found the device to be a great tool for business professionals (on paper). But I expected it to be already released to the market (and maybe be on its way to second generation). Instead of [...]
