AT&T to start selling Amazon Kindle in stores on 6 March
February 28th, 2011 · No Comments · hardware news
AT&T and Amazon have announced today that the K3 3G will be sold in AT&T Wireless stores across the US. Retail will be the same as elsewhere ($189), but the Kindle Wifi will be notable in its absence. I wonder if Vodafone, who provide the 3G connection for the European Kindle, will be offering the [...]
Apple post 6 iOS developer docs in iBooks
December 20th, 2010 · No Comments · ebookstore news
In a rather meaningless gesture, Apple uploaded a set of 6 iOS reference manuals to iBooks yesterday. The titles range from Cocoa Fundamentals Guide to iOS Technology Overview. If you’d like to read a manual on the device you’re developing for (the tautology is amusing), open iBooks and search for “apple developer”. That should help [...]

Joe Konrath earns more from self published ebooks than from his Big 6 publisher
October 6th, 2010 · 4 Comments · opinion, publishing news
He just posted some interesting numbers over on his blog: Since 2004, Whiskey Sour has sold about 60,000 copies in print and ebooks. That’s earned me about $54,000 not including foreign sales. (Not bad considering I got a $33k advance for it.) … Compare those numbers to The List. In six years, I’ll have sold [...]
