Kindle Has New Competition from All Over the Place

Amazon better watch it's butt b/c Barnes and Noble has introduced a new, better, awesomer e-Reader... The BN e-Reader or the nook(tm). This thing is so cool, it has a lot more exciting than the lame old Kindle. It has a separate screen that is also touch screen that shows the titles of books you have and so on.

There's also a brand new concept e-reader/mini netbook being introduced to a select market. This cool, practical devise combines an reader and a net book you can use on the Internet. CNN says it will run off of Google Android and you can browse the Internet and download apps and other programs. Of course you can download the books right onto the reader, making it 10 times easier to use/that much more user friendly.

BBBBBB Back it up

I've been reading hard news stories about tech and I've found that there's a lot of controversy that surrounds the rising amount of tech in the world. A huge percentage of people in the world have iPhones, Kindles, etc and have instant access to any digital docs they want.

Companies like Amazon with the Kindle and Sony with their Reader are companies that specialize in that one field. But now the iPhone has become another reader in the wide market of readers. Customers can read the latest New York Times article as soon as it's posted on their website. This crazy technology has had it's ups and downs. On one blog I read on the Kindle many commentators felt that the actions of Amazon and their deleting books from people's Kindles was a bit "Big Brother like" and felt that their privacy was in jeopardy. This raises the question "How much privacy do we really have when we wrap our whole lives around technology and adapting to the new digital age?" Will we ever really know?

Well for now people will just continue to use this crazy (and frankly awesome) technology. I know I will.
