Digimonkey Tips: ARe Café “Kindle” and “Pocket” buttons
Digi was visiting the ARe Café the other day and spotted this awesome article that she wanted to read. Unfortunately, she was at the end of her banana break and had to get back to work. She was afraid she might forget where she found the article, which is why she got so excited when she saw the new “Send to Kindle” and “Pocket” icons on the Café posts (including hers!). Those nifty icons allowed her to save the article to her Kindle and in ...more

The Week in eBooks
Will the terms “Kindle” and “eBook” become synonymous, much in the way we call tissues Kleenex regardless of the brand? Considering the impressive eBook growth at Amazon.com, it’s debatable. CNN Money recently deconstructed Amazon’s success in the digital publishing market, predicting that eBooks will account for ten percent of the company’s overall sales by next year.
Elsewhere in the eBook world:
- The British Library recently launched an iPad app that gives readers access to over 1,000 books from the 19th ...more
Romance May Not Kill, But What About Mobile Devices?
I had initially resisted the urge to comment at the Cafe about a recent article from a Utah-based website that suggested an addiction to reading romance novels equated an addiction to pornography.

Addicted? Hmmm, not sure. Addiction implies one will stop at nothing to get ...more
