- Re: Kitty and the Midnight Hour February 9, 2010
  I kept thinking Adam would so kick Carl's ass! That or Bran would just send Charles over and Carl and Meg would just disappear! I do think I'll keep on reading the series. I've heard the second book is better. Seems like lots of series get better t... […]
- Re: Kitty and the Midnight Hour February 8, 2010
  I kept thinking of Mercy Thompson too, rh! I kept saying 'if Adam was here, he'd be kicking Carl's ass all over the place'. The fact that he could openly sleep with whoever he wanted and that his mate was supposed to be fine with it actually ended up... […]
- Re: Kitty and the Midnight Hour February 8, 2010
  I just finished it, and well, not sure what to think about it. I didn't like the pack, or the Alphas. Guess I like the pack set up from the Mercy Thompson series way better, even if females are secondary to men. At least they are faithful to their m... […]

- Samsung E61 e-book reader outed, brings physical QWERTY keyboard to lineup February 4, 2010
  The pair of Samsung-borne e-book readers we espied at CES just became a trio. E6 and E101, please give a round of applause your new on-screen brother, the E61 (pictured next to Kindle). What sets this guy apart from the rest is a physical QWERTY keyboard, but otherwise boasts a 6-inch, 600 x 800 resolution screen and all other amenities found in the E6, incl […]
- E-reader statisfaction study shows 93 percent of users are happy, just not you February 4, 2010
  The wind sure changes very quickly, eh? Just a week ago the University of Georgia revealed that many of its study participants -- Athens residents who were given a Kindle to play with -- weren't happy with their e-reader experience, but yesterday a new study reported something fairly contrasting. Rather than doling out touchscreen-less e-readers to a gr […]
- Amazon buys touchscreen startup Touchco, merging with Kindle division February 3, 2010
  In what we're hoping bodes well for future Kindle iterations, Amazon's pulled out its credit card and picked up New York-based startup Touchco, who specializes in -- you guessed it -- touchscreen technology. The company will be merged with Lab126, a.k.a. the Kindle hardware division. Here's why we're excited: the startup claims its interp […]
- iPad or Kindle: will our wallets decide? January 27, 2010
  In quite a few ways, Apple's iPad and iBooks announcement today was a shot across the bow of Amazon's Kindle. Sure, Apple played nice, even saying that Amazon has done a "great job of pioneering" the e-book space, but you can't help but think that Apple thinks of itself as the evolution of the Kindle, not mere competition. Steve Jobs […]
- Delta Electronics to ship 13.1-inch color e-readers by Q2 2010 January 27, 2010
  It's a funny thing, really. We wait years upon years for color e-ink to become a reality, and today -- of all days -- we finally hear that a sizable one is coming to market in just a few months. Reportedly, Taiwan's own Delta Electronics is hoping to ship a 13.1-inch color e-reader (along with an 8.1-inch monochrome version) by the middle of this y […]
- ASUS DR-950 to be released in April for a likely £250 January 26, 2010
  ASUS hasn't exactly been tight-lipped about its DR-950 e-reader -- you know, with it outing photos and all -- but apparently the 9-inch E Ink, touchscreen reading device will be ready for buyers in April. ASUS told the guys at Electric Pig that it's currently in process of shopping around for content partners, but plans to have the e-reader to mark […]
- Acer to launch e-reader, app store, and Chrome OS netbook this year; wants to 'change the Microsoft-Intel environment' January 25, 2010
  Man, Acer's on the warpath. The world's second-largest PC manufacturer seems hell-bent on radically changing the status quo, telling Bloomberg today that it's "aggressively pursuing" Chrome OS "so there's a change to the Microsoft-Intel environment," with plans to be among the first to ship in Q3. That's somewhat […]
- Lenovo to launch Tianji iBook EB-605 e-reader? January 23, 2010
  Looks like everyone wants a slice of that steaming-hot e-reader action these days. Right in front of us here is the Tianji -- or in our language, Phecda, a distant star -- iBook EB-605, which is purported to be launched by Lenovo at some point this year (and we first heard about such plan back in December). Features include a 6-inch electronic ink display, S […]
- Kindle's active content given 100KB free monthly bandwidth allowance January 23, 2010
  We were wondering how Kindle's impending active content (read: apps) would be harnessing that free Whispernet bandwidth. As it turns out, there's just a smidgen allowed for gratis. According to the terms laid out by Amazon, there's a 70 / 30 revenue split, with that smaller percentage going to Bezos and co. "net of delivery fees of $0.15 […]
- BeBook Neo e-reader launches with WiFi and WACOM capabilities January 22, 2010
  We're still patiently waiting for Endless Ideas to launch a 3G-equipped e-reader to compete with the masses, but 'til then, we suppose we'll have to be satisfied with the WiFi-toting BeBook Neo. Boasting a 532MHz Freescale CPU, Vizplex display (800 x 600 resolution), 512MB of internal storage, 3.5mm headphone jack, USB 2.0 connectivity and an […]
