Q. Any news is nice
A. Hmm, have you heard about the update for library lending coming later this year?
How about the Mother's Day deal going on right now for a free $25 Amazon gift card with the purchase of a Kindle 3G or Kindle DX?
How about that E Ink does not expect to release a successor to Pearl this year?

How about that Amazon might be working on tablet?

Kindle 3 or Nook Version 1.5?
Q. I want to get either the Kindle 3 or Nook Version 1.5 which i believe are both the latest updates for kindle and nook. I'm just wondering which works better and while i have a lot pointing towards the kindle, I wanna know some people's opinions. Also, I wouldn't be getting it till June/July and I don't know if there is and i don't think there is but if you know of an update coming out by then and could tell me that would be great.
A. Hi, paramore70rules, Kindle 3 is lighter and has a better screen and battery than Kindle 2. It's not a touchscreen, it's still e-Ink black & white screen. You should understand the limitations of e-Ink eReaders - they are limited to be black & white for now they "blink" at each ebookâs page turn, they're not too good for web browsing, they need external light source for reading when dark, and they cannot handle videos.
There's also similar Nook eReader devices available from Barnes & Noble that have a lot of advantages over Kindles such as:
1. Nook allows to lend Nook books for two weeks to friends and family or share with your other devices that run B&N app (PC, MAC, Android phones, Apple iPhone, iPod and iPad, etc.) Barnes & Noble allows (when you walk in with the Nook to B&N store) to read any available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi. With Nook, while in BN store you get exclusive articles from top authors, and great offers including cafe treats and unique deals.
2. Nook (unlike Kindle) can be used for library ebooks.
3. Nook (unlike Kindle) can be used for renting text-ebooks.
There's over a million of free public ebooks as well as over a million of ebooks that you need to pay for available through Barnes & Noble eBook store. Prices are generally much lower than for physical books.
If you're willing to spend a bit more, you could get Nook Color from Barnes & Noble which is a hybrid Android device, much more than just an e-Reader but not a full tablet as it doesn't have a camera (but iPad also doesnât have one.) Even though Nook Color has LCD touchscreen, it's a new generation screen which is anti-glare coated and is better performing in sunlight and produces less glare all of which are dooming reading on iPad. Also, the screen is amazing and readable/viewable at wide angles.
Nook Color has several apps that already come with the device (Pandora Internet radio, QuickOffice, etc.) Also, Barnes & Noble recently released Nook SDK and Nook Developer platform that will allow most of the existing 100,000 Android apps be ported to it. You can use the Social Settings screen to link your NOOKcolor to your Facebook account and your Twitter account. You can also import all your contacts from your Google Gmail account. Once you have linked to Facebook and Twitter and set up email contacts, you can lend and borrow books, recommend books, and share favorite quotes with your friends.
If all you want is to read novels, Kindle (or the original e-Ink Nook) might be better for you. If you want something more from your device (color graphs and charts of college text books, childrens books, photos and videos, web sites in full color) at half of the price of iPad or Galaxy tab, then Nook Color is your best bet.
Amazon Kindle help!!!!?
Q. I have the very first Kindle model, it doesn't show the page numbers of the books I read. Is there a setting or something I can change to make my Kindle show the page numbers? Thanks!
A. The feature adding real page numbers began with Kindle Software Update Version 3.1. (Unfortunately, the Kindle 1, Kindle 2, and Kindle DX are not capable of running Kindle Software Update Version 3.1 and so cannot show real page numbers.)
For Kindle 3 owners, make sure you have the update:
"From Home, select Menu, then Settings. On the Settings screen you will see the Kindle version at the bottom of the screen." http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200529700
Also, realize that the page display feature depends on the ebook:
"Not all Kindle books include page numbers. Kindle books that include page numbers will list "Page Numbers Source ISBN (the print book identification number)" for the matching print edition under "Product Details" on the detail page at Amazon.com. If the Page Numbers Source ISBN (the print book identification number)" listed under "Product Details" on the product detail page is the same edition as your print book, the Kindle page numbers will match the page numbers in the printed edition." http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_k3softwareupdate_pages?nodeId=200505500&#pages
