When asked at MacWorld about the Kindle, Steve Jobs replied that “[t]he whole conception is flawed at the top because people don’t read anymore.” So all those rumors and dreams about Apple building an iPod for Readers is dashed. Hey, Steve, many people read. They are called women. They also buy things. Like iPhones and(…)

From Apple Insider and Artist AudioPollution. The annual Consumer Electronics Show just wrapped up this weekend. There were plenty of televisions, cameras, and mp3 players.

I think this is pretty great news and not because consolidation is good, but because as David Rothman points out in his article, the Brothers Pendergrast who own and run Fictionwise, are very plugged in to the e-community and offer a number of books on(…)

This past week, Sony sent an email letting everyone know that its e ink reader is ready to ship. It’s now backordered, but it was ready to ship. E ink devices work kind of like sophisticated magna doodle boards. (In an unrelated riff, I had a MDB on my dorm room door in college. It(…)

According to Mobile Read, the Sony Reader is ready for release. You could get it before the end of the month or at least by the beginning of the month. I’ll be at Borders in October to check it out. One of the pics from Nathan shows a booklight attached. Cumbersome but usable. I am(…)
