Amazon Kindle

By Sean Fallon As many Kindle owners already know, keeping a large number of books on the device can get a bit unruly—so this would be a welcome update. It's also good news for people on the fence about whether or not to get a Kindle or a Nook over the holidays. It appears that the Kindle is going to be the only gam...

By Paul Biba According to Engadget, via the NY Times, the Nook is sold out and the next round of readers will ship out around January 4. If memory serves, didn’t exactly the same thing happen to the Kindle 1? Digg us. Slashdot us. Facebook us. Twitter us. Share the news.

By David Rothman How to get books ready for the Sony Reader, the Nook and a multitude of other machines—and address such challenges as reproducing charts accurately in ePub from generic XML? The newest entrant in this product-and-service category is eGen, from Aptara, which claims eGen “produces eBoo...

By Rosa Golijan Nook, Kindle, Cool-er, Sony, Alex, Que. The ebook reader choices out there read like a biker chick's list of ex-lovers, and it's tough to pick the best. To us, it comes to a showdown between the newly reduced-price Kindle and the Nook, but we haven't reviewed the Nook yet—nobody has—so it's a...

By David Rothman Regardless of the Amazon app’s positives, I’ll still be wary of all things Kindle due to the proprietary format and DRM. If you’re interested in building a library of books from large publishers, then you’d be better off with the Sony Reader or the B&N Nook—at least if plans work out and...

By Paul Biba According to the Wall Street Journal demand is so strong that pre-orders won’t ship until December 11. Originally the device was to ship on November 30, and then to the next tier of customers on December 7 which has not been moved to the 11th.

By David Rothman Jim wonders if Amazon will imitate B&N’s friend-lend arrangement. What do you think? He also says Amazon focused too much on the Kindle for its own books and not enough on it as a general-purpose e-reader. Amen to that! About the Kindle photo: Yes, that’s a DX rather than the Kindle 2, whi...

By David Rothman –The Nook may go global, if you extrapolate from Barnes and Noble’s search for “head of their international business” (Techcrunch via Kindle Review, which wonders if the Kindle 3 will have WiFi capabilities to help get around steep wireless charges in various countries).

By Joe Wikert 3G Wireless and Wifi -- I blogged about this long ago and have often wondered why Amazon didn't bother offering wifi with the Kindle.  Some said it would be redundant with Whispernet.  I say nonsense, particularly since I use wifi every day with my iPhone 3GS.

By David Rothman Significantly, B&N has a chance to create e-book/p-book synergies that could leverage its major brick-and-mortar presence to stay competitive with Amazon. I myself would love to see B&N distinguish itself not just through the friend-to-friend loan policy, ideally liberal...

By David Rothman Anyone able to help? Meanwhile here’s a friendly suggestion to Amazon, if it wants make the existing Kindle more competitive with the Nook, the Sony Reader and the rest. Please give readers more font-related options, including the opportunity to bold all text and even vary the amount of b...

By Darren Murph You know what happens when you realize your $399 price point can't compete with the International Kindle and Barnes & Noble Nook at $259? You jack it up by $50 and hope people view it as an ultra-premium product, that's what. IREX's DR 800SG e-book reader, which admittedly comes with a s...

By Sean Fallon Amazon has responded to the release of Barnes and Noble's nook ereader by price matching their International Kindle down to $259. Eh, I'm not reading ebooks overseas. I still want a Nook. [NYT]

Amazon today dropped the price of the international version of its Kindle reader to match the US-only version's $259 price tag while merging sales of the two. The lower-priced model is already being offered on Amazon and is a move believed prompted by the recently introduced Nook reader f...

By Dan Nosowitz Sharing is also done really well: As opposed to the Kindle, which only lets you read purchased ebooks on a same-account iPhone or iPod Touch, the Nook lets you read on any device supported, the most important of which are PC and Mac. So you and your significant other could read the same book at...

Barnes and Noble's rumored dual-screen e-book reader gained credibility Monday night with the leak of a paper ad in advance (subscription required). A full-page placement due for the New York Times' Book Review next Sunday labels the reader as the Nook and says it will ship for $259, reac...
