Amazon Cloud Player Streams All Your Music to Your iPhone

If you’re an iPhone owner who opted to go the way of Amazon’s storage locker as a means of streaming music, then you know listening to music on the go hasn’t exactly been convenient (unless you actually like navigating Amazon’s site in Safari).

Lazy Publisher Replaces Every “Kindled” in War and Peace Ebook With “Nooked”

Leo Tolstoy couldn’t have possibly known that the war between competing ereaders would result in the mucking up of his magnum opus.

The Future of Book Cover Design in the Digital Age

Ereaders are literally changing the way we read. But for all the efficiency and portability they offer, they lack the curious romance of reading a book in its hard, physical form—not least the charms that lie on the cover. https://gizmodo.com/1-in-3-ereading-devices-is-used-for-what-5913494 These days, Kindles start up on the first chapter of a book, so it’s increasingly…

Reuters is reporting that the next Kindle will be front-lit and will be coming out in July. It’s a smart move because it’ll let users read their Kindles in the dark and an obvious one for Amazon to make as Barnes and Noble already has a front-lit Nook. The Kindle will still be using an…
