Whenever a new version of a product is released, prospective buyers might be confused about the differences between versions. Everyone wants to make sure they are buying what they need. For those of you contemplating purchasing the nook Classic (3G+WiFi) or the nook WiFi, the differences are minimal. To make it absolutely clear, I’ve decided to [...]

Tomorrow, May 1, is Free Comic Book Day, which means there’s free loot to be had at your local, participating comic shop. Depending on where you live, your local shop may be hosting signings, giving away multiple free comics and offering other goodies. While most of the brouhaha happens in-store and you can and should check [...]

It’s mid-April, and many of us are looking forward to taking a summer vacation or getting outdoors, going for a paddle, wetting some lines, or just spending long weekends at the beach. Most of us will also want to carry and protect our nooks to prevent damage from sand, salt, water, mud or other elements. Today’s [...]

For today’s Friday Five, I had to dig deep–way back to April 4′s Hugo Awards announcement. Instead of eyeing the novels, I decided to take a look at the short story nominations since I’ve previously covered some of the novel nominees in previous Friday Fives and because short fiction is full of win.
“The Bride of Frankenstein” [...]

Regardless of your thoughts about the Agency Five, April 1 has come and gone and eBook vendors have changed in a matter of a couple of days. Since Agency Five is such a major experiment for the big publishers, remember to know your principles and to buy according to those principles. You’re all smart, opinionated folks [...]

Happy Friday! Although free is good, under five is a pretty good deal and a bit more sustainable for authors and publishers in the long-term.
1. A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin: This is the book that kicks off the currently unfinished A Song of Ice & Fire series. Before you begin watching the [...]

I only own one nook case–JAVOedge’s Cherry Blossom. I don’t feel qualified to give a list of the best nook cases, which I would guess is a rather subjective subject since we’d be largely dealing with aesthetics once we get past basic features.
Instead of running down a top five of specific cases, I’ll list five sources [...]

In celebration of Read an E-book Week, today’s Friday Five focuses on five free selections from some of my favorite authors and/or anthologies.
1. Stories and excerpts from editor John Joseph Adams’ The Living Dead anthology: The Living Dead anthology is stuffed with brilliant zombie stories that aren’t often Romero-esque. My favorite selections are the utterly crushing [...]

Recently, the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) announced the nominees for the 2009 Nebula Awards. While the vast majority of the short fiction nominees may be read for free (SF Signal put together a list full of awesome that includes links to digital text and to audio versions, when applicable), I decided to [...]

The flip style Cherry Blossom case in kick stand mode.
Late last week, I received my replacement JAVOedge Cherry Blossom flip style case. I grabbed it on Sunday, headed to a local historical site and took some photos. Well, it’s Friday, which means Friday Five, so I decided to merge the FF with the Cherry Blossom [...]
