Amazon’s latest generation e-reader can now be had through a couple new chains in the UK. At least, that’s the story everyone is reporting, but I haven’t actually found the Kindle listed on the Carphone Warehouse website. But I did find it on the Best Buy UK site, where it’s being sold for £111. That’s [...]

New firmware out for the Amazon K3
October 20th, 2010 · No Comments · hardware news
Amazon updated the download page today with links to the v3.0.3 firmware. Once again they’re calling it an “early preview” of the next firmware, and they want you to give feed back on how well it works. I don’t know what the improvements are; I’ve installed the new firmware and TBH I haven’t noticed any [...]

“I actually paid more these sunglasses.” Whatever Amazon paid for the commercial, they got their money’s worth in that one line.
New firmware available for the K3

Amazon have uploaded a software update for the K3. They’re calling it an early preview, and it will only be available for a limited time. Apparently this isn’t an official release. If you miss the chance to download it don’t worry. I can’t see that they’ve changed anything. But Amazon did say that “This software [...]

Humor: David Pogue reviews the K3 (video)
August 27th, 2010 · No Comments · humor, video
So David Pogue of The NYTimes got one of the early Kindles (of course) and he did this video where he tries to compare it to the iPad. It’s hilarious. The news coverage for gadgets has gotten so serious that the only option left is satire. I couldn’t help snickering

K3 reviews are popping up all over
August 23rd, 2010 · No Comments · hardware reviews
I’ve found 5 reviews so far today. I haven’t read them all yet, but Amazon is usually pretty good at getting the bugs out before they ship. You don’t know how much I wish I were one of them. Stephen Wildwalker of Kindle Nation Daily: Ten Reasons the New Kindle 3 or Kindle Wi-Fi is [...]
An early review of the K3 (video)
August 23rd, 2010 · No Comments · hardware reviews
Len Edgerly over at the The Kindle Chronicles scored one of the few early review units. I wonder how he got it; I can’t even get Kinley Cambell (the Kindle PR contact) to return my emails. I’m dying of jealousy here.
