The Amazon Kindle better watch out because Sony has just announced the Reader Daily Edition. It has a 7 inch touch 16 level grayscale display. You might say that it’s just another ebook reader, so who cares. But this reader offers 3G connectivity via AT&T, Mac compatible Library software and the ability to wirelessly check […]

I think these might be the first hard shell cases that I’ve seen for the Kindle 2. They are from Kindle Chaos (interesting company name…) and are available in a couple different styles and colors.

No memory card slots. No audio capabilities. No picture support (I assume in the books it supports pictures, but

If you recently purchased the Kindle 2 e-book reader, you might have been surprised to find out that Amazon failed to include any type of protective case. If you remember, the original Kindle included a cover. A lame one, but it was better than nothing. Luckily, it didn’t take long at all for cases and

The last time I read an ‘analog’ book, was… ummmm… Wow, I can’t even remember. I’ve been reading e-books on my PDAs and now smartphones for years now. I think the first device that I recall reading on was the Palm V. I love being able to carry a bookcase of books in my pocket.

Like many other gadgets, the Amazon Kindle comes with a basic cover to protect it straight out of the box, leaving the creation of more elaborate and fashionable cases to third parties.

As an avid reader, I’ve long been a fan of e-books. Nothing is quite the same as a paper book, of course, but for convenience it is hard to beat carrying a small library in your pocket. While PDAs are probably the most common e-book reading platforms, there are also a few devices which are dedicated to them. The Sony Reader is one of them, and is the first dedicated e-book reader to appear in mainstream shops. It is also one of the first of a new generation of e-book readers that use “digital ink” displays which attempt to provide a more paper-like viewing experience. Does the Sony Reader do that?
