The Digital Reader

Here are the top posts from the past week at TDR.

The new Nook dominated the news, of course, with the new Nook Tablet and $99 Nook Touch coming as a surprise (to most). The Sony Reader Wifi hack continue to draw a crowd, and it should. I really like mine. It’s growing to be my preferred ereader.

But some of the important news didn’t get the attention it deserved. I wish more had read about the Wiley piracy lawsuits, future of digital comics, and the Gamestop tablets. Two of the 3 are important and the third will have an interesting effect on the tablet market as a whole.
