Amazon is selling a ton of e-books each and every month thanks to the Kindle platform. The company already has one of the most popular tablets around in the Kindle Fire. But it is making money off of iPad users too. The company has recently upgraded its Kindle Store for iPad to allow readers to [...]

Amazon may have a lot to work out when it comes to making modifications to its Kindle application to stay in iTune’s App Store, but that has not stopped it from attacking Apple iPad and other LCD tablets with yet another ad. It is no secret that LCD type tablets are not great for reading [...]

The cat is finally out of the bag. We have known for some time that Apple was aiming to go after content publishers to get its 30% cut of their revenue. This sounded like a very aggressive move that could have major ramifications for all parties involved. Apple has decided to pull the trigger on [...]

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 [...]

Sony’s plans to sell its e-book content on the iPad have hit a major roadblock. The company has had its application rejected by Apple. The app would have allowed iPad owners to purchase and read e-books from Sony’s ebook store.  As the New York Times put it: Apple rejected Sony’s iPhone application, which would have [...]

When experts called the e-reader market a “two-horse race,” many wondered whether these folks were discounting B&N’s NOOK or Kobo’s e-reader. A study conducted by IDC suggests that iPad and Kindle are quite dominant in their respective markets. Apparently, iPad was responsible for 87.4% of the tablet market before Samsung Tablet came into play last [...]

Amazon and Apple have been going at it hard over the e-book market supremacy. Amazon has been particularly aggressive with its strategy, picking up authors left and right. Kindle is a wonderful device, but it would not be half as appealing as it is today if Amazon did not offer the lowest e-book prices through [...]

We knew Apple was going places with the iPad. What we did not expect was the speed in which the company has increased its e-book market-share. During WWDC 2010, Steve Jobs announced that Apple had sold over 5 million e-books since the launch of iPad. That puts Apple’s Ebook market-share roughly at 22%. Steve Jobs [...]

Apple may be riding high with iPad selling like hotcakes and iPhone 4G only a few weeks away from making its way to the markets. All is not well for Apple though. The company has become the target of the Feds just recently. The Department of Justice has already opened investigation into Apple’s practices in [...]

As Apple gears up towards releasing the iPad next month, its competitors are scrambling to come up with their own solutions to keep up with the company. We already know that Amazon is working on Kindle Touch (though no release date has been announced). The company is not stopping there. Amazon has no intention of [...]

Amazon marketed Kindle as a revolutionary device that not only allows you to take many books with you on the go, but one that could save you money as well. After all, most e-books in Kindle store were expected to be sold for $9.99. The recent developments regarding some of the top publisher companies has [...]

Apple has got to be the worst company when it comes to keeping secrets. The company does manage to keep its new products under wrap most of the time, but every-time Apple decides to work on a new device, we get bombarded by thousands of fake or half-true stories. There have been a lot of [...]

I am a big fan of Kindle. I own a couple of Kindles. I have also tried to give other e-book readers a shot. Sony Reader was my first e-book reader before I made the switch to Kindle. To be fair, a lot of time has passed, and many new competitors have shown up to [...]

The rumors about Apple netbook are back. But this time, it seems there is more substance to it all. The rumored Apple iPad is what we have been hearing about in the past few months and more. It is essentially a large screen iPod touch that lets users take advantage of the applications available in [...]

It’s not everyday that you see a CEO of a top company apologize for his/her own company’s “stupid” actions. But what did you expect with Amazon? Amazon is known for putting customers first, and while you can’t keep everyone happy, I am sure Amazon’s service is much better than a lot of its competitors. The [...]
