November 17th, 2010 · 2 Comments · hardware news

One detail I left out of my Copia announcement last night was the status of their e-readers. It was a pretty big lapse, and I’m surprised no one noticed. i didn’t mention the e-readers because one, there was only a single mention of a tablet on the Copia website (no release date), and two, I [...]

Copia are a 2nd rate Goodreads clone

September 1st, 2010 · 3 Comments · software reviews

I got a beta invite for Copia a couple weeks ago and I’ve been playing around with the site on and off.  I’m not impressed. It’s not that I hate the site; it’s just that I don’t see a reason to join Copia instead of one of their competitors. Footnote: If you want to see [...]

Copia reveal an LCD tablet

July 29th, 2010 · 2 Comments · hardware news

It’s only 5″, so calling it a tablet is something of a stretch. The Wall Street Journal has the story, but there is hardly any detial or specs for the e-reader. Fortunately, I’ve seen the hardware before. An e-reader with the same image popped up on JCPenney’s website back in November. That e-reader had the [...]
