The Amazon Kindle Fire is one of the most popular tablets around. It is selling impressively even though it does not have the best hardware or software on-board. Of course, many of us bought our Kindle Fire to hack it and do all kinds of neat things on it. A video has been circulating online [...]

The iPad has been hard to compete with for many Android tablet makers. Acer, ASUS, Motorola, and Samsung have all tried but failed to market a tablet that could go head to head with the iPad. Amazon seems to have found the right formula though. If you can’t beat the iPad in design and features, [...]

We are getting awfully close to the shipping date for the first batch of Kindle Fire orders. So it is not a surprise to see Amazon shed more light on the apps that will be included on Kindle Fire. The company has reassured Kindle Fire buyers that their device will have access to some of [...]

Amazon has built quite a business around the Android platform. The company is not only selling a ton of Android applications through its AppStore, it is also marketing Android smart-phones through AmazonWireless service. To sweeten the deal for Android fans, Amazon has decided to offer $15 digital bonuses to those who pick up an Android [...]

There is no question that devices such as Kindle provide e-book buyers with the best reading experience. But tablets and smart-phones are still very popular for reading. If you have picked up an Android device recently, chances are you use it to go over documents and e-books on the go. In order to get the [...]

Even though Amazon has still not announced any plans to bring a tablet to the market, the company has already laid the groundwork to start competing with Apple and other tablet markets. Considering that Amazon has just launched an Android Appstore, it is not hard to guess which operating system will run on Amazon’s Kindle [...]

With e-books becoming more popular each day, it was only a matter of time before a top book seller started feeling the heat of the digital shift in the publishing industry. Borders did put up a challenge against Amazon and B&N by bringing Kobo reader and a few affordable tablets to its store. Apparently, the [...]

Amazon has had a huge year when it comes to the number of Kindle units sold (and the number of new e-book customers gained). While the rumors of Kindle’s death at the hands of iPad are exaggerated, we know know that Kindle may be losing marketshare to iPad slowly. Jeff Bezos has talked about how [...]

Amazon may be hoping for all tablet and smartphone owners to pick up the Kindle, but it has created the tools they need to read their Kindle books on all kinds of devices. Kindle software is available on iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, and Android devices. Kindle comes pre-loaded on certain devices (e.g. some ASUS laptops). It [...]

We have known for quite some time that Jeff Bezos is fascinated about the idea of competing in the tablet market (from his interviews with Mr. Rose and other programs). The company is not ready to introduce its own operation system yet. But why go in that route when it can just count on Android [...]

Amazon and Borders are not the only companies with e-reader apps for Android. B&N has just released nook for Android to give Android phone owners the chance to download and read e-books on their devices. nook for Android is compatible with devices that run Android 1.6 or above. It is very similar to nook for [...]

Kobo eReader may not be the best e-book reader around, but it has made a lot of players in the e-reader market nervous. The device is priced low and offers almost everything one would need to read books (without the unnecessary bells and whistles). Just like Amazon Kindle and Nook, Kobo has gotten its own [...]

Android tablets are on their way. So is Amazon Kindle for Android. Kindle fans have been waiting for Amazon to make its move and bring its e-book software to one of the most exciting mobile platforms around. It has taken some time for Amazon to deliver a solution for Android, but the wait seems to [...]

I have been a big fan of Craig (and his listing empire) for years now. When you hear powerful people such as him talk about Kindle for Android, you have to assume that Amazon is listening. So Amazon is going to bring Kindle to iPad, but it’s not going to be agile enough to develop [...]

I have said in the past that Android can be what Amazon has been waiting for the move Kindle to the next level. With Android apps, Amazon Kindle can have access to plenty of applications (and their developers) to enhance user experience on Kindle. Now can it happen? Android is currently designed for Mobile phone, [...]
