that came out 4 years ago, hardcover is $8.15, paperback is $6.40, Kindle ebook $20. WTF. "This price is set by the publisher", and I'm guessing the publisher doesn't like Amazon's ebook business too much.

"ebooks ... can cost more than twice as much as their printed cousins." Which makes no goddamned sense.

sounds like a decent update

This will be selling here in Canada through Indigo in May. It's a much better price for an e-reader.

looks pretty nice

very nice instapaper sync for ebook readers

a clear advantage over the current Kindle

unsurprisingly, a touch-screen company.

some fun speculation. My guess on a bigger, colour touchscreen while keeping the price the same, possibly with a cheaper B&W version still available. They need colour to make them viable for textbooks, magazines etc., and touchscreen to make the screen bigger while keeping a similar size (or smaller).

a decent explanation of the appeal of the Kindle et al. Still applies now that the iPad is here.

I still think the Kindle will have to get cheaper.

fascinating interview that shows how dangerous it can be for big content corporations to go after pirates, as they are more likely to be enthusiasts motivated by the desire to share, not dudes with peglegs and scurvy. Also interesting (if common sense): there is less piracy the cheaper the book.

does both e-ink style and backlit

a much more thorough and better-written Nook review

Sounds like the touch screen interface is a little half-baked.
