Kindlecasting and A Kindle Catcher: A Propsal
March 20th, 2009 Last night, in a fit of inspiration and exhaustion I posted a poll around creating a kindle catcher. As I was tired, I assumed that folks would immediately know what I was thinking based on a sentence, which might be insane. So, without further adieu I present a more thought out plan for what I’m thinking about. I know this is an evolutionary idea more then revolutionary but I think it’s worth discussing. Actually, there are folks that would say going from audio/video to print is devolutionary but whatever.
DRM and Kindle: An Old Debate Reexamined
March 18th, 2009 In this article: Kindle e-reader: A Trojan horse for free thought, Professor Emily Walshe raises some points that I discuss. Generally I’d post a comment on the article, but the CS Monitor doesn’t allow for commenting, something they should really think about on techie articles like this. So I’m writing my thoughts here.
To start with, even though a Kindle supports DRM, it doesn’t force it. The kindle supports a number of different open formats either directly or through simple conversion tools.
The article states:
Why the Kindle is a Better Reading Device Then A Computer or IPhone
March 18th, 2009 A lot of tweets over the last few days which are really asking the question “Why should I buy a kindle if I have a netbook or iphone”. As hard as I’ve tried to answer that question in 140 bytes at a time, I figured I’d go out there and post why I think it’s a good device, and (even though I didn’t have to pay for mine) why I think it’s worth the money if you have it.
Getting The Kindle Etched
March 12th, 2009 Just got in from getting a kindle etched down at adafruit and I wanted to relate the experience to you all. It’s probably the funkiest thing I’ve done in a while.
Social Networking, It's What's Missing From the Kindle
March 10th, 2009 After reading @kindlejunkie’s tweets on how to update your Library Thing via Twitter (and how it’ll work from a kindle), I got to thinking about the Kindle and how it should be integrated better into social networking.
History
Most people know that Amazon bought Shelfari back in August and I thought this was an inspired move. I figured a tight integration between the 2 services would be fantastic. Imagine that when you write reviews on Shelfari they get ported to Amazon (and vice versa). When you buy a book off of Amazon it gets added to your book shelf automatically.
