News - 1) My comparison of Google’s Nexus 7 with the Kindle Fire for reading books 2) GeekBeat.TV’s John P has a fun and smart video comparison of the Nexus 7, Fire, and Nook Tablet. 2) Jeremy Greenfield reports on a doubling of eBook revenue in 2011 versus 2010.

Interview (Starts at 24:05) - I spoke with Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild (From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail), on Tuesday, July 17th, about her savage self, getting a call from Oprah Winfrey, the metaphor of hiking, and why she might take a Kindle on her next long trip. Be sure to check out Oprah’s two-hour interview with Cheryl, which will premiere on “Super Soul Sunday” July 22nd at 11 a.m. ET/PT on the Oprah Winfrey Network and will simulcast online worldwide via Oprah.com and Facebook.com/OWNtv.

Content - Highly recommended: Cheryl Strayed’s novel, Torch, and her newest book, a collection of personal essays in the form of advice columns, Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar. Also, I found an excellent, free mindmapping app for the Kindle Fire, Mindjet for Android.

    Tom, I haven’t tested that yet. Will give it a trial, maybe playing side by side videos on NetFlix with the Fire.
