Why Do We Keep Making Ebooks Like Paper Books?
Comparing books to ebooks is like comparing mechanical watches to digital watches, or manual cars to automatic cars. No one doubts the convenience, reach and flexibility of the ebook format, but it will never convincingly replicate the experience of a paper book — nor does it need to. Ebooks are a fundamentally new medium, stuck in an awkward growing stage.
Whoops! That $15 Ereader Is Actually $70
Have you been eagerly awaiting the arrival of txtr’s $US13 ereader and rationalising its lack of fancy features with the fact that it will cost next to nothing? Too bad, suckers!

Amazon Is Kind Of Shipping The Kindle Paperwhite To Australia Now
Ever since Amazon released its new line-up of Kindles back in September, Aussies were left somewhat in a lurch. Previously, Australians were only able to order the base-model Kindle, leaving us without access to the backlit Kindle Paperwhite and the intriguing Kindle Fire HD.
