Afternoon All, I have had a few people ask me what I know about the Tablet that Amazon is manufacturing, so TADA here you go. Straight from my tech geek to your awaiting eyes. The dish. Happy Reading! Misty (P.S. I will have a review up later, and several up next week when I’m not so cracked out on steroids which…are making it VERY hard to focus.) (Ok..for the record, the steroids aren’t illegal. Just thought I should point out that I’m not actually a drug addict.) Cheers! Amazon Media Event Set for September 28th, Tablet Announcement Expected

Amazon readying Netflix-like service for eBooks, report claims By: Zach Epstein | Sep 12th, 2011 at 08:01AM As Amazon prepares to launch its first tablet offering this fall, the tech press seems to be in agreement that the device will give owners deeply integrated access to the company’s suite of digital services. It will download books from Amazon’s Kindle book store, stream music from the company’s Cloud Player service, pull down movies from Amazon Instant Video, and provide a window into Amazon’s numerous additional services. According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, Amazon is also working on a new

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I decided to post a book trailers today for a couple of reasons. 1. There are very few NEW samples out there this week, and I didn’t feel like repeating myself, and 2. I love them. Plain and simple they are fantastic way to advertise a book and the goodies that live between their pages. So…what I have for you are the 5 best book trailers I have come across in the last few weeks, and in case you were wondering…YES, I have purchased every single one of these BECAUSE

A few years ago Book Trailers were an after thought… something that publishing houses would throw together in some thinly veiled attempt to promote a book that wasn’t getting much notice. Since then, things have changed. Book trailers are the norm instead of the exception, and with good reason. They work. Just like movie trailers can entice you to get off your duff and see a movie, book trailers can lure you into the written word. Now.. all that said, I have been hitting nationally published books a little hard in the last 2 weeks (mostly because of my little

In my humble opinion there is nothing sadder than a neglected Kindle. One of things that attracts me to physical books is there beautiful covers, so why shouldn’t I expect the same from my eReader? Well, have no fear.. I am here to help you in your quest to pimp yours (or your loved ones) Kindle. Even better… it’s just in time for Christmas! Below you’ll find 5 of my favorite and (of course) VERY different products. They boast a wide range of prices, from the hand crafted leather (and BEAUTIFUL) covers from Oberon, to the pocket change pictures of Gelaskins! Happy shopping, MERRY

Evening Kindle-ites~ Listening to most of y’all the last few weeks I realized something… I am behind the times. While before I was leaps and bounds ahead, sporting my pretty little Kindle, and clothing it in the newest fashions, I am now lagging in the back crowd not having purchased a K3. Am I sad about this? No, not really, I’m happy with my K2 and to be honest, I don’t even feel the urge to upgrade, but I didn’t want my reluctance to move forward to hold you back from available accessories, so… I asked my lovely friend Sophia

Kindle’s Digital Sales Overtake Hardcover The battle has been ragging for a while now, Kindle vs. Hardcover, but it was unclear until this morning who the winner would be. While Amazon boast a very vague “millions” of Kindle’s sold it was still unclear if the eBook would topple the well establish bound copies. Sure… Millions of people own a Kindle, but are they actually purchasing books or using it as a very fancy coaster? Well…the numbers are in! Since Amazon’s decision to drop the Kindle price from a whopping $259 to the more reasonable $189 they have been selling like

Amazon has always been known for it’s options… need socks, gummy bears and a good book? No problem, 1 stop shopping with lots of variations, but up until now their Kindle lineup has been 1 dimensional. Not anymore. Just 1 week after Amazon dropped the price of their Kindle 2 they are releasing a snazzy new DX. (Lets just pretend that this is the original DX’s hot girlfriend.) With a sleek new graphite exterior and a stunning list of new features. (including social networking options) this little beauty is bound to turn some heads. (Especially since the price is a

Amazon’s Kindle App for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch Gets Embeddable Audio and Video BY Dan NosowitzToday Amazon doesn’t really care if the Kindle hardware dies. They’d rather it didn’t, of course, but Kindle is much more than a couple of e-ink e-book readers. Kindle is much more important (and more profitable) as a store, available from tons of different devices–so just because its Kindle 2 and Kindle DX can’t handle audio or video (or, um, color), that doesn’t mean Amazon can’t keep pushing the medium forward. Amazon thus announced today that its Kindle app for iPad, iPhone, and iPod

Where For Art Thou Kindle 3? James Mulroy, PC World May 30, 2010 11:25 am For those of you who think that the Kindle’s 1/3 of an inch thick architecture is just too thick, you may be able to check out a new slimmer Kindle come August this year. According to a Bloomberg.com article, Amazon.com plans to introduce the next version of the Kindle electronic-book reader. The Kindle is a fashionably slim e-book reader that weighs in at only 10.2 onces, or lighter than your typical paperback book. It has 3G Wireless worldwide, and an impressive paper-like display that truly
