    Jeff Bezos on the Inevitable Obsolescence of Books

    Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos tells Dan Lyons, aka FSJ, just how deep his "missionary zeal" for spreading the gospel of the Kindle runs: One day, it's going to kill books entirely. The full quote: More »

    Is Your Kindle Spying On You? (Yes.)

    If you don't want other people to know what you read, you probably shouldn't own an ereader. And you really shouldn't get a constantly connected Kindle or Nook, at least according to the EFF's eye-opening guide to ebook privacy. More »

    Are B&N Nook Downloads Failing the Xmas Rush?

    I've got a bunch of complaints coming in about the Nook's e-book purchase servers being robust enough to take your money but the downloads are not going so well since new xmas owners came online. Any info, Nookers?

    I'm stumped, I have never bought ebooks before and since I urgently need some books for a project I am working on, I thought I would try to purchase ebooks since I can have them as soon as I pay.

    It seems to me that sites like amazon or barnes & noble have only very few books in ebook format?

    I need books on "cloud/grid computing" and "software as a service".

    Simple example, both sites have cloud computing for dummies in paperback form, but not in ebook form and this applies to many other titles I looked at.

    Maybe I have been living behind the moon, but can anyone tell me what the premier ebook sellers are? I need stores that sell to europe too.

    Thank you!

    Wall Street Journal and New York Post Confirmed For Sony Reader Daily Edition

    When Sony announced the Reader Daily Edition back in August, they hadn't confirmed which newspapers would be offered alongside the ebooks. It's just News Corp titles for now, with The Wall Street Journal and New York Post being confirmed. More »

    Amazon Has the Kindle and Barnes & Noble the Nook...So What About Borders?

    We've all heard about the Kindle. And most of us know about the Nook. And while Borders is not selling a dedicated eBook reader of their own, they have just doubled down on digital distribution. More »

    Borders and Kobo Team Up to Develop a New Reader

    Borders is teaming up with a company called Kobo and making some grand plans. They apparently intend on developing a new ebook reader, a new ebook service, and having all the content be "device neutral." Pretty big task there, fallas. More »

    The Fight for eBook Publishing Rights

    For the past 15 years or so, most authors who've signed with publishers have explicitly defined their ebook publishing rights. But who owns the rights to the bazillions of books published before ebooks existed? More »

    Why I Hate Ereaders, And Doubt They'll Ever Hit the Mainstream

    It started with Sony. Like most poorly thought-out format ideas from the Japanese titan, 2004's Librie ereader promised a revolutionary new way to perform an act you never realized needed an overhaul. Reading. More »

    Books, and the iTunes Problem

    Ransacked by the internet and teetering on the edge of the real ebook revolution, the publishing world is understandably afraid of what's next. But their skittish plans to shoehorn digital books into the old publishing cycle are stupid. And doomed. More »

    French President Implies Google Books Will Strip Their Heritage

    While French President Sarkozy didn't namecheck Google directly, he more than alluded to them, claiming that their aim of scanning out of copyright books and putting them online will damage France's own book digitization plan. More »

    Aluratek's $179 LCD-Based Libre eBook Reader Goes Cheap

    The Libre eBook Reader PRO has a 2GB SD card with a monochrome reflective light LCD instead of an e-Ink display, which puts into a different bucket than the other eBook readers shipping recently. Plus, it's only $179. More »

    Ereaders Are a Nazi Scheme, and More Bizarre Theories From Ebooks' Sworn Enemies

    There is a discussion to be had about whether or not ebooks are bad for writing, reading, and bookselling. There is also, apparently, a discussion to be had about whether or not ebook proponents are just like the Nazis. More »

    Barnes & Noble Nook Review: Pretty Damn Good

    It's a relief to finally lay hands on the Nook. The dual-screen reader was just a prop at its unveiling so I'm happy to report it works (pretty) well. It can't kill Kindle yet, but it's an alternative worth considering. More »
