Obituaries are already being written for the Amazon Kindle with today’s Apple announcement of iPad and iBooks. (At least Steve Jobs gave Amazon and the Kindle some props today.) Despite the iPad’s large color touch screen, I think the reports of the Kindle’s death are premature. The Kindle will still offer major cost savings and some significant advantages for serious readers...

Kindle 2 vs Nook
Remember this post? Where I outed myself as a lover of books? A person who loves the weight and the smell and the turning of pages? Welp, now I’m considering breaking down and turning in my chips for an e-reader. Does anyone own a Kindle or a Nook and have any words of wisdom? Is one better than the other? I’m leaning towards the Kindle. Kind of wish I knew when the Kindle 3 was...

Color me conflicted
On one hand, I love the convenience the Kindle gives you - more room on shelves, a new book anytime you want one, the ability to carry multiple books with one slim device. On the other hand, i love the physical book. I love the way it smells, I love the way it feels. I love the excitement of turning the page of a story that you just can’t get enough of. I’m a...

Start counting to 50,000, out loud. And as you’re counting, be fully aware that each number is a precious life lost in the Haiti earthquake. Someone’s mom, someone’s dad, someone’s grandpa, someone’s grandma, someone’s sister, someone’s brother, someone’s uncle, someone’s aunt, someone’s daughter, someone’s son, someone’s friend.
