The Amazon Appstore launched a couple days ago, and I just finally got all the bugs worked out so I could download apps. Apparently Amazon’s system thought I was outside the US. (I live in the South, so I’m pretty sure that was just wishful thinking.) I just downloaded the free app of the day, [...]

March 18th, 2011 · No Comments · humor
Evil Wylie created this bracket over on EvilReads. It pokes fun at how Borders are closing stores by comparing it to the elimination rounds of NCAA basketball. All the stores on this bracket come from the first list of 200 stores scheduled for closure. If you want, you could track the stores as they close. [...]
Is the Amazon App Store launching this month?
March 1st, 2011 · No Comments · app store news
A friend forwarded this tweet to me today, and I’m trying to figure out if they know something I don’t? I think it’s bogus. The link leads to a blog for a company that has a development platform for Android. The company doesn’t appear to have any inside info, and I think there’s a better [...]

The following was tweeted from the Readability account yesterday: The Readability iOS app has been re-submitted. Coming soon: our open love letter to Apple. I doubt that they’re paying Apple’s [...]

Did you know that the Amazon App Store has a blog?
February 18th, 2011 · No Comments · Amazon, app store news
I didn’t. You might recall that Amazon opened their app store to developers back in January. At about the same time, they also started a blog to pas along advice for the developers. I just found out about it yesterday. If you’re not a dev then it’s really not that important, but it does mean [...]
My local Borders store isn’t closing, is yours? (map)
February 16th, 2011 · 12 Comments · ebookstore news
At least, not yet. I’ve come across a scanned list of the 200+ stores Borders will be closing under the bankruptcy plan. It was compiled on Monday by Hilco and submitted as part of the bankruptcy filing. Just for my own curiosity, I made a Google Map with most of the closing stores on it. [...]

Apps now a category in the Kindle store
February 5th, 2011 · 2 Comments · ebookstore news
Someone is bound to tell me that this happened weeks ago, but this is the first I’d heard of it. Amazon have updated their website to include a new section for apps, games, and other active content. There’s only 23 titles in the section right now, but that will obviously increase. Speaking of categories, there’s [...]
