 Beth wrote on April 29th, 2010 at 10:03:45 AMNot directly nook-related, but Kobo is giving away ten Kobo eReaders, the eBook seller’s new hardware device. Each eBook purchased translates to one contest entry. Just a reminder for those of you relatively new to nook–Kobo books do work on your nook via Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) authorization and side-loading. The contest ends [...] Beth wrote on February 22nd, 2010 at 09:17:42 AMScience fiction author Robert J. Sawyer compares the nine devices that make up his personal collection of eReaders, which include nook, the Foxit eSlick, the jetBook-lite, the iRex iLiad, and others. Sawyer discusses his eReader wishlist (stop right-justification or display it correctly, share eBooks between different devices in a broader sense) in the nearly ten-minute [...] Beth wrote on January 21st, 2010 at 10:35:17 AMScience fiction author Charles Stross talks about the Google Book Settlement, why Amazon’s recent announcement of the $9.99 per eBook cap and 70% to publishers plan hurts authors, and other twenty-first century monetization issues that writers face. And what about the Amazon 70 deal? Beginning on June 30, 2010, publishers and self-pubbed authors enrolled in the “70 percent [...] Beth wrote on January 19th, 2010 at 10:19:52 AMPocketLint takes a look at Plastic Logic’s eReader. I have to use this quote because it’s so geeky and really grabbed me when I saw it at Twitter: Think of the Plastic Logic Que proReader not as yet another ebook reader, but as a tablet computer that will let you access all the important data you need [...] Beth wrote on January 18th, 2010 at 11:15:45 AMMichael Miller writes “Software Will Be the E-Reader’s Kingmaker” at PC World. Miller focuses on software advances in eReaders and proposes that the feature-set and interface will be the determining factor in the eReader wars. Software still follows the recognizable storefront factor. A great feature set isn’t going to get you anywhere if people can’t easily navigate [...] Beth wrote on January 18th, 2010 at 10:50:07 AMErik Larsen writes about the future of comics and eComics in the latest “One Fan’s Opinion” column at Comic Book Resources. (Thanks SF Signal.) While Larsen name-drops the Apple tablet, the Pixel Qi and Liquavista color displays look entirely suitable and easy on the eyes for eComics purposes. Do any of you read graphic novels? If so, [...] Beth wrote on January 16th, 2010 at 11:17:33 AMEngadget takes a look at the cheap Kindle DX twin, Boeye’s OEM E900. The devices sport similar hardware configurations and looks very similar to the DX. Scott at The Lewis Four points to “The Ultimate Guide to Ebook Readers We Care About” at Gizmodo. (Scott also provides some analysis on some of the eReaders mentioned.) The article [...] Beth wrote on January 13th, 2010 at 01:52:33 PMToo many eReaders on the market? Will eReaders with integrated software systems give everyone else a good thrashing? That’s pretty much the consensus at jkOntheRun and at eWeek. People seek names they recognize and instant gratification. They want simplicity. These are no-brainers. What becomes more interesting is how many “licenses” eBook storefronts permit. Barnes and Noble have partnered [...] Beth wrote on January 12th, 2010 at 11:02:32 AMFran Wood writes about the nook learning curve, limited support and limited instructions at the Star-Ledger. She says: I phoned six more B&N stores in New Jersey, only two of which claimed to have Nook kiosks — in-store displays devoted to the product and its accessories. I visited one and found an employee who showed me how [...] Beth wrote on January 11th, 2010 at 11:37:18 AMEBook manager and eReader Calibre has been updated to v0.6.33.
