Asus have updated the product page for their 9″ Sipix screen e-reader. At this point I’d say that it doesn’t really matter; we already knew most everything on the page. The DR-900 is based on a 9″ Sipix screen (1024 x 768 resolution) with a capacitive touchscreen. It has 2GB Flash, a microSD card slot, [...]

What’s the best free PDF app for Android?
November 29th, 2010 · 9 Comments · Android
I want to do a survey of free PDF apps for Android. Unfortunately, I don’t know of very many. What’s your favorite, and what’s good? BTW, there’s one catch. It has to be accessible outside the Android Market. It would also be great if it ran on v1.5. So far I’ve tried and discarded txtr [...]

NookColor has been rooted
November 29th, 2010 · 4 Comments · hardware news
It looks like I was wrong about whether the NookColor is an Android tablet. A couple of developers over at the XDA forums have figured out how to hack the NookColor and get root access. Yes, that is Angry Birds running on it. The hack is still in the experts only phase, but this is [...]
Wattpad release Q3 traffic report
November 29th, 2010 · No Comments · ebookstore news
Watpad have released the Metrics Report for the third quarter 2010. This report analyzes the amount of traffic their site received over the last 3 months. It’s 12 pages long and only slightly denser than a powerpoint, so I’d say it’s worth a read. You can download it here. Here are the highlights: In mobile [...]

November 29th, 2010 · 3 Comments · ebookstore news
I just heard about this site today on Twitter. I’m sure this isn’t the only site that helps you share ebooks, but it’s the first that I’ve heard of. While I don’t have any ebooks from B&N, I do approve of the principle. NookLend.me Edit: They’ve had to change the name to Bookfriend.me But they [...]
Apple pulled another app from iTunes
November 29th, 2010 · 6 Comments · Uncategorized
And in our next story on why App Stores are a bad idea, we have this from the Huffington Post: The Manhattan Declaration, a controversial app condemning gay marriage, sparked outrage when Apple approved the app for inclusion in its App Store, finding that it contained “no objectionable material.” Earlier this week, The Huffington Post [...]
Pearson now looking at POD?
November 29th, 2010 · 1 Comment · publishing news
I found this interesting article on printweek.com. The article doesn’t explicitly mention print on demand, but it sure seems like that’s what they’re talking about: Senior vice president Ed Febinger told the audience how the 37,000-staff company, which publishes education and consumer books as well as newspapers such as the FT, expects consumer behaviour and [...]
Advertisers Wanted
November 29th, 2010 · No Comments · blog maintenance
TDR has grown to the point maintaining it is getting costly, so I’m looking for advertisers*. Are you interested? I’m open to most any type of ad in the sidebar except Flash (it increases the page load time). I’m also open to the idea of a once a day sponsored post. My current rates are [...]
