POPSNew Sony Reader has touch display, note-taking stylus I have both the SONY PRS-500 and the Kindle and prefer the Kindle simply because it is easier to put content on the device and has a wider range of content. Until Sony gets their pricing down to match Amazon and until there is wireless, the PRS-500 is the last SONY I will purchase.

POPSAll Hail Our Glorious Leader! Note: The official Obama campaign website is doing this. They're screaming about McCain running the sleaziest campaign ever, while they're actively trying to stifle dissent against Obama. Not refuting it; not ridiculing it; not even engaging with it. Trying to keep it from being said at all. If this is like last time, they won't even send a campaign rep to the show, which is just down the street from their HQ. No, just send in the phone zombies. And they're getting away with this. I guess because if you have a problem with it, you're a racist? I've got my Amazon Kindle right here and I just downloaded Freddoso's book. While I still can.

POPSRead it Then Stuff It In the Bottle Cage Well, that may be a bit of a stretch - it would rattle around if its only two and a half inches thick. I think next year I'm going to do some of the travelling I was hijacked from this summer.

POPSAmazon Kindle 2.0 Nice balance to this biz week article. Not sure i'm sold on the Kindle either, but its tough to question John Doerr. He's been right many, many times...and his wins typically come with many, many zeros behind it.

POPSElectronic Papyrus: The Digital Book, Unfurled The black-and-white display holds about 22 lines of a book page, depending on the font, all shown in the crisp black type provided by technology from E Ink, also used in Amazon’s Kindle and other e-readers. The screen changes from one page to the next in about half a second, at the touch of a thumb.

POPSPrint Book Sales Down, Ebook Sales Up A sign of things to come, preferences aside. I sell both print and ebooks and just like the majority of my customers, I prefer the print format. However, when e-readers are more affordable and functional, I am pretty certain things will change. Additionally, every generation is increasingly computer literate, which will lead to greater sales of ebooks. I am currently educating myself in the creation and marketing of of dynamic ebooks so that I can be up to speed in the publishing field. If you have an interest in writing an ebook, let me know! Also, I'll have a new website soon that will sell both ebooks and ereaders (some new ones are on the horizon that will be more reader-friendly). What's your opinion? Can you adapt? Would you just read books on your computer or prefer a light-weight reader such as the Kindle or similar?

POPSIs Amazon's Kindle about to Tip? hmmm...2,500 four-year universities in the U.S. The author of this article says Amazon has a long way to go. I say, that's 2,500 highly qualified "Glengary" leads to go after! I can hear Bezos now..."We're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anybody want to see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. "

POPSThe coming of the e-book. I thought this was an interesting piece on how the Kindle and e-books will have a surge and be good for the industry. Our library has a number of subscriptions to electronic reference books. The students appreciate the fact that these books are easily searched online and that they do not have to check out or photocopy the pages they need for their assignments. I am not sure if more people will prefer a Kindle over a book but I think it is amazing that you can have so many books with you all on one portable device and that you can download those books via wifi networks. I included a quote from Steve Jobs because he irritated me with that statement.
