TKC 196 Dr. Temple Grandin
News – 1) The announcement of Microsoft’s $605 million investment in as-yet-unnamed Barnes & Noble entity sparks some far-out reaction. 2) The Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight is pretty cool for reading in bed, but in my opinion what it lacks in sophisticated reading tools available on the Kindle Touch far outweighs the innovative built-in [...]
Revised TKC 195 – Corrects Audio Glitches in Final Few Minutes
The final few minutes of TKC 195 contained audio errors which I have corrected in this version. There were no problems in the first 40 minutes of the podcast, including my interview with Mike Shatzkin. If you have already listened to the episode, the only information that you will find in this one that you [...]
TKC 195 Mike Shatzkin
News – 1) Amazon beats financial analysts’ expectations with its first-quarter earnings report. 2) E Ink Holdings, on the other hand, has its first first-quarter loss since 2009, thanks to Amazon’s “digestion” of E Ink screen inventory that exceeded demand for the last quarter of 2011. Thanks to Sri Peruvemba of E Ink Holdings for [...]
TKC 194 Doug Lance
News – 1) More commentary on the Department of Justice’s antitrust action against Apple and five publishers over e-book price collusion: Brad Stone and Felix Gillette in Bloomberg Business Week, Mike Shatzkin, and Stephen Windwalker. 2) Kindle Touch 3G goes worldwide sooner than expected, via Andrys Basten. Tech Tip – A comparison of Audible audiobooks [...]
All the News that Bashes Amazon
I love The New York Times and am a loyal subscriber to its Kindle version. But honestly. Are all of the Times’s objective, hard-hitting journalists in the pockets of New York publishers? When you scan the prestigious addresses of the five Defendant Publishers listed in the Department of Justice’s antitrust complaint, they are all in the same [...]
TKC 193 Jim Cheshire
News – 1) The Department of Justice files an anti-trust suit against Apple and five publishers, three of whom have settled out of court. Click here for the 36-page Complaint and here for the Proposed Final Judgment as to defendants Hachette, HarperCollins, and Simon & Schuster. For a look at where at least one of the alleged conspirators’ meetings [...]
A Kindle Daily Deal to Remember
Amazon today is marking the 100th anniversary of the Titanic’s sinking by offering Walter Lord’s classic, A Night to Remember, as the Daily Deal, for $1.99. Lord’s minute-by-minute account of the Titanic disaster was published in 1955, when I was five years old. I vaguely remember reading this book when I was a boy, but [...]
Nook Gets a Glowing Screen Before the Kindle
I just pre-ordered a Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight and can’t wait to see how it looks under the covers for night-time reading. TechCrunch has reported that Amazon is planning an E Ink Kindle with this clever technology, but Barnes & Noble appears to have beat Bezos and company to market with a glowing screen. [...]
United States v. Apple and the Big Publishers
Click here for the 36-page complaint filed today by the Department of Justice against Apple and five major publishers charged with conspiring to fix e-book prices. It’s a PDF file that you can email to your Kindle(s) for a close read. I will be studying it this week as I prepare TKC 193, but at [...]
