Amazon has finally taken its first big step to take the Kindle platform beyond the hardware. Jeff Bezos did announce a few weeks ago that Amazon would be bringing the Kindle platform to mobile phone users, and he has kept up with his promise. Kindle for iPhone is a free iPhone application that enables you [...]

A few days ago, I mentioned how the pressure was mounting on Amazon to make changes to its Read-To-Me feature on Kindle 2.0. Since the day Kindle 2.0 was introduced, a few people were making the case against Read-To-Me and its legality. It seems Amazon has finally caved in and decided to make software changes [...]

After a couple of weeks of waiting, Kindle 2.0 is finally shipping on Amazon. If you were among the first people who ordered Kindle 2.0, you should be receiving yours in a few days. It’s refreshing to see Amazon Kindle still being “in stock.” I remember Kindle 1.0 went out of stock fast and stayed [...]

I have seen many e-book readers that are expected to challenge Amazon Kindle in the future. But not has impressed me as much as Plastic. The device has a large screen that makes it easy to read books. There is a touchscreen feature that allows you to type or turn pages. These are even talking [...]

The guys at Adobe are made, and they want Amazon to know they are. We all know the reasons behind Amazon not supporting PDF at this time. Amazon wants to protect its customer experience by exerting more control on what goes on its device. But Adobe has been pushing to get on the Kindle and [...]

Talk about having a short honeymoon. You thought Barack Obama had a short honeymoon? Think again. Amazon Kindle 2G is already taking heat for its innovative Read-To-Me feature. I get what Jeff Bezos was trying to accomplish by adding Read-To-Me feature to Kindle 2.0. The truth is we as a people are finding new ways [...]

It has been only two days since Amazon officially launched Kindle 2.0, and a Kindle item has already made it to the top of Amazon’s bestsellers list. But it’s surprisingly not Kindle 2.0. It’s Amazon’s 2 year warranty for Kindle that is selling like hot cakes. Let’s face it. Spending close to $400 on a [...]

Amazon has just announced Kindle 2G, and it won’t be shipped until February 24th. But Amazon has a special deal for us early adopters. You can get in front of the line if you order by Feb 10th. I was hoping for a discount, but I guess this will do…

Amazon has finally updated their website with Kindle 2.0 information. You can now buy Kindle 2.0 and have it shipped after February 24th. There is no surprise as far as price. It has stayed the same.  Here is what Amazon has up on its front page:

Today is the day! Kindle 2.0 is expected to be introduced to the whole world by Jeff Bezos at a press conference in New York. Unlike Kindle 1.0, Kindle 2.0 has gotten much better media coverage and folks have more familiarity with what the device is all about. Kindle 2.0 may look a bit sleeker [...]

The moment we have all been waiting for could be finally upon us. After playing cat and mouse with the media for months, Amazon has finally given an indication that Kindle 2.0 may be released soon. Apparently, an e-mail was sent to the media discussing a program by Jeff Bezos on February 9th. While all [...]

Amazon has just updated their Kindle splash page to account for the new titles that it has added to the Kindle platform in the past few weeks. The official number of titles available for the Kindle stays on 225,000. Not a huge deal, but one has to wonder about the time we are going to [...]

Txtr reader is the latest device that is aiming to challenge Kindle’s supremacy in the ebook market. The whole GPRS/Wi-Fi capabilities make Txtr reader more like a tablet PC than a mere eBook reader. But for what it is worth, it is dubbed as the best eBook reader on the market: We believe that the [...]

Okay. Maybe it was wishful thinking on my part, but I really thought that Obama would be our first Kindle president. I get the whole point of taking your oath on Abraham Lincoln’s bible, but why not take it on a Kindle (rather a bible in Kindle format)? In my mind that would have been [...]

Kindle is a great gadget. I would even dare to claim that it is the most useful gadget that money can buy. But not everyone can afford to get it at $359! Now, I am have seen refurbished Kindles go for $299 or $329, but used Kindles for as low as $100? Is it all [...]
