Amazon’s Kindle capitulation ?
Want to confuse customers? How about taking the “if ya can’t beat`em, join`em” approach….

Sports Illustrated on the iPad ?
In January Time Inc., the publisher of Sports Illustrated showed off their own tablet highlighting a future issue of SI for tablet users. I immediately questioned their “announcement” to produce their own tablet.

Alice for the iPad
The reason excitement for the iPad. I believe if more books like this come from the creative class we will have a revolution in reading. Books and magazines may will never be the same again. And ROIs will rise as well.
