Ahh, Ebook Hubris
Somebody sent this link to a tweet by Hadrien, founder of Feedbooks. We’ve had more downloads than Project Gutenberg for the last 6 months. Can we claim the title of “most popular website for public domain” ? The short answer … Continue reading
End Coming for Sony Reader?
Jane at Dear Author was first to note: Sony’s selling its Touch Ereader via online closeout specialist Woot. This is the first time Sony’s Reader has been sold via Woot. If you’re unfamiliar with Woot, they have “deals-a-day”–and every now and again start selling stuff rapidly, one thing after … Continue reading
After Macmillan–yeah, Amazon Considers Apple a Threat
This is getting fun. I have no idea how long the spiel with Macmillan’s gonna last. It’s of course ridiculous for a Macmillan division like Tor, given its online following, etc., to not be selling most of its ebooks direct … Continue reading
The Thunder, It Stolen
I know there were a ton of ebook devices “announced” at the CES show. But, while I’d love to see Pixel Qi succeed, second-tier E-ink licenses are so last-decade. Kindle DX International is coming Jan. 19th. For those who … Continue reading
Interesting Timing By S&S+Hachette
The same week that Nook “launches”–or at least, gets a few demos into stores, and some glowing reviews that don’t actually experience any of the bragged-about-features–and Sony’s finally got its new format, maybe, Hachette and S&S have turned around and … Continue reading

Sony ADE Still Doesn’t Justify Text!
In 2009. Some meh pictures of epub files from me and Hadrien. Sorry for camera quality, my hands were shaking with wrath. If you haven’t followed my every move on Twitter, I took advantage of the trade-in offer on a … Continue reading

Download Stats From External Catalogs
Oh, somebody was wondering about this one. Because of the new mobile era, there isn’t as much direct downloading of books from the site. Maybe 150, 200k. Thanks to nightly XML updates I am, however, in catalogs from Stanza, FBReader, … Continue reading
Lulu’s Labors Lost?
So, I saw the bit about Lulu “partnering” with Ingram to “sell mainstream books” in addition to Lulu’s self- and micropress offerings on I think ireaderreview, and it’s been bugging me for a couple of days. See, if you’re adding … Continue reading
