With a bit of hype and fanfare Amazon.com launched a bigger Kindle DX today. The new ebook reader has a price point of $500 and supports native PDF files and bigger screen that rotates. Cool. The announcement however is not showing up at CNN.com or the NYTimes websites. Digg had it posted 1.5 hours ago.

Would you like to access music the same way you access water? David Kusek and Gerd Leonhard have written an amazing book about the music industry, artists, record companies and how massive changes are underway that will benefit everyone who enjoys music.
The Future of Music: Manifesto for the Digital Music Revolution proves that indeed access to music can be modified to be as simple as finding water. If you are interested in education David and Gerd actually spell out something special in chapter one … maybe without even knowing it.
Without a doubt they have The Future of Music nailed down: Mobile and Digital. The book is labeled a Manifesto for good reason. If you want to understand the music industry from the inside, gain a better perspective on how the record industry stacks the deck against musicians and how mp3 + iPod + iTunes = Revolution then you will really enjoy The Future of Music.
Authors David Kusek and Gerd Leonhard have combined their knowledge and talent to truly place a wonderful series of ideas, thoughts and experiences from the music industry into a book that will show how radical changes to the digital distribution of music will actually make everyone happy, kill Digital Rights Management in the process yet make the music business profitable.
FireFox3 is staggering their 3.0 rollout — so the world does not all download at one time killing their servers. Not a bad idea:
Chicago – Milwaukee – Madison get downloading at 12:00 noon!
