Amazon has introduced a new version of its Kindle Store that is optimized for the Safari Web browser on the iPhone.
In March, Amazon launched an application that makes ebooks sold on its site readable on Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch devices.
Billionaires donate to lots of causes for lots of reasons. Sometimes the donations are business related and sometimes they’re not.
At first glance it looks like a Kindle killer. Fujitsu took the veil off of FLEPia today, an e-book reader that shows 260,000 colors in full sunlight, and that works as a digital picture frame.
Discovery Communications, the company behind the Discovery Channel, has sued Amazon.com for allegedly violating a patent on electronic book technology with the Kindle.
Discovery filed the patent infringement suit against Amazon in U.S. District Court in Delaware alleging that the sale of both versions of the Kindle violates a patent Discovery received in 2007.
Amazon has launched a free application for the iPhone and iPod touch that allows users to download any e-Book from Amazon's Kindle store on Apple's mobile devices.
You've probably heard a lot of hype about the new Kindle 2 from Amazon that people just started receiving this week. This isn't the only news in electronic reading materials though. What if you could just get books delivered to your phone? That doesn't sound too bad, and it's exactly what Canadian Indigo Books & Music, Inc. is doing with its well-timed release of Shortcovers, which launched today.
Not everybody’s thrilled with Kindle 2, namely Roy Blount, Jr., author and president of the Author’s Guild. The last time we heard from the Author’s Guild, they were mighty upset about Google scanning and indexing library books. This time the objection is over the text-to-speech function Amazon included, which reads the downloaded book aloud.
Amazon's Kindle 2 has arrived in the hands of those lucky enough to get the early pre-orders. Luckily WebProNews was among the first batch of recipients. So let's take a look at this bad boy.

It's the second version of the Kindle, a wireless reading device, capable of storing thousands of titles within its svelte design.
Rumor had it that Amazon would unveil a new version of its Kindle e-book reader today; pictures of a slim and slick-looking device were already circulating, and Jeff Bezos, Amazon's CEO, had called a press conference in New York. Now, Amazon's investors and (slightly) late adopters will be happy to hear that the rumor was realized.
