The Kindle Fire may be an affordable tablet but it is more than capable of keeping you entertained at home and on the go. It’d be useless to you when it runs out of battery though (unless you have a way to charge it fast). The Solio Bolt is an exciting solar charger that uses [...]

The Nook with GlowLight is a pretty decent e-reader. It is compact, easy to carry around, and does not require you to buy a reading light. We have known for quite some time that Amazon has been working on Kindles with front-lit displays. B&N may have gotten its lighted NOOK to the market first but [...]

Amazon has already released a color-screen e-reader to the market. But that just happens to have a LCD screen. The company was supposed to adopt color e-paper a while ago. It may be ready to do so this year. According to DigiTimes, Amazon could make that move as early as the second half of 2012. [...]

What’s better than a decent protective case for your e-book reader? A case that can charge your device or its accessories using solar energy. There are not too many such products around. But these 3 solar cases for Kindle / iPad are well worth checking out: Logitech Solar Keyboard Folio: a highly versatile case for [...]

Many of us already have an e-book reader in our home. Reading e-books on these tiny devices is quite convenient. But that does not mean people don’t buy or read paper books any more. In fact, a California poll sponsored by USC’s Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences and the Los Angeles Times, indicates [...]

Amazon may have had a lot of success with the Kindle Fire but the company is in a great position in the e-reader market too. Amazon Kindles are responsible for 62% of U.S. e-reader usage. That is according to a report by the Pew Internet & American Life Project. NOOK and Sony Reader are behind [...]

It was only a short time ago that Amazon introduced a French-language Kindle e-book store. Now the company has introduced a section to cover books in Spanish. The section has over 30k e-books including 65 of the top 1000 Spanish-language print bestsellers on Amazon.com. A good number of Latin American newspapers have been included too. [...]

Many of us have suspected that using an iPad or Kindle during takeoff probably would not hurt. If you have traveled by air recently, you have realized that you are still asked to turn your electronics off during that time. Apparently, the FAA understands some of these policies are outdated. It will take the FAA [...]

The new iPad has been released today. If you ordered your tablet online, you should be getting it today. Many iPad fans will be making a trip to stores to pick up theirs. It is only a matter of time before top developers optimize their apps for the new iPad retina display. Kindle for iPad [...]

Steve Jobs may have contributed a lot to Apple’s success in the past few years. But he did leave this company in a bit of a legal mess when it comes to e-books. The Department of Justice is now targeting Apple and top e-book publishers for colluding to charge more for e-books. As William Markham, [...]

The Kindle Singles program sounded very exciting when Amazon launched it over a year ago. Of course, nobody knew for sure that there was a market for shorter books. It seems the idea has been quite successful for the company though. PaidContent is reporting that Amazon has sold 2M Kindle Singles since the launch of [...]

Apple finally announced its next generation tablet yesterday. The new iPad has a faster processor, higher resolution display, better battery, and neat features such as Voice Dictation. Apple seems to have stopped using numbers to name its tablets. That is going to cause some confusion among consumers. But Apple still has not taken steps to [...]

When it comes to screen sizes of gadgets, not everyone has the same taste. Some people love having very large screens while some of us are more productive on smaller devices. We have seen plenty of 7 inch tablets released to the market in the past couple of years. Many of them have been busts. [...]

If you have noticed the Kindle Store having less e-books these days, it is due to the fact that it does. Amazon has removed nearly 5000 eBooks from the Kindle store after the Independent Publisher Group refused to sign a new contract with Amazon. It is not surprising that some of these publishers don’t feel [...]

The Amazon Kindle Fire has a lot of merits as a tablet. It is cheap and quite a capable tablet. But it does not have an e-ink display. That means you are going to have a very difficult time using it under direct sunlight. Besides, it is not always easy on the eyes. We have [...]
