Borders’ Kobo e-reader now comes with $20 gift certificate; iPhone, iPad App now available
Posted on June 22, 2010 | No CommentsThe wonderful thing about all these e-readers is that so long as you buy one that has honest-to-goodness E-Ink (Kindle, nook, Kobo, etc.) you're basically using the same device. The most important part of an e-reader is the screen, so when all the big guys use the exact same technology, well, you should be just fine. Then it comes down to store quality: does Amazon have the books you want to read or does Barnes & Noble or Borders? That's the most "research" you'll have to conduct. Moving on... in light of the nascent price war between Amazon and Barnes and Noble, Borders would like you to know that its Kobo e-reader now includes a $20 gift card and double Borders Bucks for whenever you drop cash in the store.

Posted on October 27, 2009 | No Comments
Libraries, the places where homeless people, famously, shave and go BM, are seeing an uptick in subscribers thanks to their embrace of ebooks. Our own Brooklyn system has had downloadable ebooks for a few years now and the system is fairly simple: you check out a book to read on your device and then "check it back in" when you're done. This frees up the download for the next person. The book deletes itself automatically past the due date.

Disney to put an end to those pesky “paper” books
Posted on September 29, 2009 | No CommentsAs a parent I love a little one-on-one time with the son and daughter in front of a good book. What I don’t like are those crap-gasmic Disney books that float through every child’s book collection, titles like “The Jungle Book” that are basically advertisements for the movies. And what I really don’t like is [...] -
