I haven’t seen that before, no. I was under the impression Apple’s lists could only be found inside the iTunes app, so this should prove quite useful.
Thanks!
And thanks!
Dutch publishers lose court case against “Tom Kabinet” second-hand ebook website.
Basically the law is not clear about the fact if ebooks can be sold second-hand.
The judge also mentioned the fact that the publishers were not prepared to negotiate in any way with “Tom Kabinet” to make legally selling second-hand ebooks possible.

Well holy excrement. I thought the publishers would win. Thanks for the link!
I also thought that the publishers would certaintly win this case.

But still, this is a nice surprise.
What’s your opinion about this company?: www.clearinkdisplays.com/
They promise color electronic paper, with video, etc for 2015 … I’ve never read about them in this blog.

The second company is what used to be known as Irex. I know they’re continuing their research but the status and abilities are still closely held secrets.
Not sure if it’s significant, but diesel-ebooks.com has changed registrars from GoDaddy to Dotster, and the landing page switched from “We’re Cooking Up Something Cool. Get Ready. Diesel eBooks & eBook Eros” to a generic Dotster landing page today. Meanwhile, ebook-eros.com is still with GoDaddy and has the Cooking Up message.
May just be a registration shuffle (I can’t blame anyone for getting away from GoDaddy), but perhaps worth keeping an eye open for further developments.
And now the page is showing signs it still belongs to its old owners.
Do you accept guest reviews? I got my hands onto a DPT-S1 with the intention of using it as a viewer for contract drawings (I’m in construction) and would like to write a short review about how it performs for that purpose since I couldn’t find any information on that anywhere when I tried to find out about it before purchasing it.
I’m definitely interested, yes. The Sony Digital Paper is way outside my price range.

Shows cover. The reader has magnets inside (I think), but those strips inside cover are not just non-slip to keep the reader stick while it is held by magnets, those strips are surprisingly strong glue.
Thanks.

Yep. I was going to write that post but other stuff got in the way.
Nate, it looks like somebody has managed to replicate the reporting of unrelated books that ADE 4 sends

Scroll down that page to the update.
This is very important, because so far nobody has verified your claim that ADE4 reports on books that aren’t in the library or aren’t opened by ADE4.
Yes, actually. I figured out how I did it, and then told them:

Latest Streitfeld propaganda in NYT Business section
I’m seeing it in the Bits blog, and trying to figure out how to address it.
Joe Nocera’s pro-Amazon column on the OpEd page today’s NYT. Unfortunately he seems to degrade his column with his final statement that he’s pro-Hachette and the current publishing industry model because it works for him. Were he smarter he would understand
