I don’t in general like to address any conspiracy theories when it comes to gadgets or anything else for that matter. No matter what the situation, you can always find folks who get a pleasure out of coming up with wild stories and speculations. The same concept applies to Kindle DX. As you know, Amazon [...]

A few months ago, I started thinking about what features would be offered on Kindle 2.0 & 3.0. At the time, I was hoping for a lot of new features (true web, Kindle 2 Kindle sharing, and ..). But one of the features that I did want to see on Kindle 3.0 was the ability [...]

at&t may have the iPhone exclusively in the U.S. but it certainly is not satisfied with it’s current portfolio of wireless products. at&t has already entered the netbook market and is offering subsidized netbooks to sign people up for those hefty two year contracts. But one can’t expect at&t to ignore the e-book market alone, [...]

You thought Apple may be the toughest competitor to Amazon in the e-book market (with its upcoming MediaPad)? Think again. Google did announce a while back that it was planning to compete with Amazon (in an indirect way). But who knew Google had grand plans for the e-book market? Google announced that it is working [...]

If you are anything like me, you have been counting days to hear about the release date of Amazon Kindle DX. One would wonder what took Amazon so long. But we finally have a release date. June 10th is the day! Amazon has just updated their Kindle DX page with the release date above. The [...]

If you have been following Amazon Kindle’s progress in the past few years, you are well familiar with E-ink technology. It’s one of the biggest reasons we all get to enjoy on e-books as much as we do. The company behind the technology has just been sold to PVI. PVI is an ePaper screen maker [...]

In the past few weeks, we have heard a lot of rumors about the future of the e-book industry. Kindle is dominating the market, and a few companies are watching Amazon closely to pounce at the right time and grab some market-share. But the competition in the e-book reader market is going to get interesting [...]

If you have been following this blog lately, you probably know that I am a big fan of Plastic Logic. Since its debut on DEMO a while back, I have been hoping for Plastic Logic Reader to mount a real challenge to Kindle DX. Not every e-book reader has the chance to become the next [...]

In general, I am not a big fan of discussing rumors. Rumors rarely turn out to be true, and discussing them is generally a waste of time. With Apple, there is always some truth to rumors. I have been following the company for years, and every-time you hear a rumor about its plans, you expect [...]

You may remember a couple of months ago, Discovery Communications sued Amazon for infringing its copyright system on both Kindle 1.0 and 2.0. Many experts didn’t think too much of the lawsuit. But it seems Amazon is ready for a fight. Amazon has decided to counterclaim Discovery’s lawsuit with one of its own. Amazon is [...]

Scribd is a great place to find new content and share yours with the community members. It’s in essence the YouTube for books. Scribd has offered free publishing and sharing since its inception, but reports are suggesting that it may be ready to launch its e-commerce system to allow its content producers to sell their [...]

A few days ago, I had a chance to review Amazon Kindle’s publishing platform that allows anyone to list their blogs on Amazon and share them with the Kindle community. Kindle publishing platform makes it so easy to add a blog or even a book to Kindle store. But that seems to be the problem [...]

Most of us would love to get a bargain on Kindle DX. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could get Kindle DX for only $300 while others pay close to $500 to get their hands on it. Of course, you may want to fly too. Unfortunately, scammers know what people are wishing for, and they [...]

These past couple of weeks have been great for Amazon. It has already launched a killer, larger Kindle and made adjustments to Kindle store to make it more iPhone friendly. But will Kindle DX strike a cord with college students, as Amazon surely expects. I was surprised when I read about a few universities making [...]

There are a lot of folks who try to “review” new gadgets for you on YouTube and other websites, but who better than Jeff Bezos to give you a review of Kindle DX? It’s a short clip but still worth watching.
