A Roundup of My Favorite April Fool’s Jokes

April 1st, 2013 by Nate Hoffelder · Round up → 2 Comments

1 April has come and gone (mostly) and many, many jokes have been made. Most weren’t all that funny, but there were a handful that I liked either because they surprised me or they got a chuckle out of me.

I thought it would be fun to share the handful of jokes that I tweeted today. They are all the type of post that would have gone into the morning coffee posts had they been legit.

Kindle Paperwhite Roundup of Reviews

September 30th, 2012 by Nate Hoffelder · Round up → 30 Comments

Amazon has just lifted the embargo on the KPW reviews and after reading a few I could easily see that right now B&n is having an “oh, crap” moment. Everyone loves the new higher res screen, and when you combine it with the frontlight it apparently sets a new standard for for ereaders.

Based on my few minutes with it a few weeks ago I am not surprised.

Here are the reviews which I have found so far tonight.

Weekly Round Up

June 16th, 2012 by Nate Hoffelder · Round up → No Comments

Here are the most read posts on this blog this week. Tablets old and new dominated the list, so much so that I might as well stop calling myself an ereader blog.

My favorite post from this list is the Army Manual for surviving a Zombie attack.

  1. How to Add Android Market to Polaroid PMID702C
  2. First Impressions of the Polaroid PMID 702C Android Tablet
  3. How to Install Android Market on Polaroid PMID701
  4. Polaroid’s New Android 4.0 ICS Tablet is Now in Stores (And in my Hands)

Here is the coverage of BEA from the past day or so.


BEA Day One: Round Up

June 4th, 2012 by Nate Hoffelder · conferences & trade shows, Round up → No Comments

BEA formally kicks off tomorrow, but the pre-conference duals, ritual sacrifices to the gods of publishing, and self-flagellation started today with the IDPF conference and a Publisher’s Launch event.

I’m not there, obviously, but I am following the blog posts and I’ve collected the ones from the blogs I normally follow (and Teleread).

Weekly Roundup – 15 January 2012

January 15th, 2012 by Nate Hoffelder · Round up → No Comments

CES has just wrapped up, and now that was a crazy week.

Here re the most popular posts for this week.  The top 10 is dominated but some older posts s well as the Nook Tablet (because of the new bundle offers). I can also count no less than 4 CES news stories that no one else covered (iriver, Polaroid, Mirasol, E-ink).

Weekly Roundup – 8 January 2012

January 8th, 2012 by Nate Hoffelder · Round up → No Comments

As you read this Sunday morning I will hopefully be in the air, on my way to CES. It’s been an interesting week, but few of my favorite posts made the most read list. Instead the list is dominated by older reviews and how-to posts. And of course at the top of the list was the Kyobo review.

Weekly Roundup 31 December 2011

January 1st, 2012 by Nate Hoffelder · Round up → No Comments

It’s Sunday morning, and that means it’s time for the weekly roundup. I used to post this on Saturdays, but now that I plan to have the morning coffee post, I’ve moved this post.

It’s been a fairly quiet week here on the blog. Most everyone is still away on vacation, so not many newsworthy events have happened. All the top posts are older ones. it looks like most visitors are looking for advice on their new gadget.
