  I don't need to overpriced e-reader

  These days I read mostly on my cell phone, it has a big screen, good lighting and can handle non-restrictive formats!
  I first started it when I visited Japan where I got my first app, and I've never looked back since. Perfect for leisurely trips to the loo

  Re: I don't need to overpriced e-reader

  I'm wondering when picoprojectors will really become a practical display technology for smartphones... there seems to be a fine line between the size of a phone and a tablet for some manufacturers!

  I wish I had booked mark the link about the economic analysis of the newspaper giving up the print edition and provide all its customers with a basic e-reader that updated to the latest edition every morning via something like the whisper net. The economic cost saving where there only if they could guarantee the recipients of the new e-newspaper reader would stay a customer for 3-5 years. 3 years being the break even point with the life expectancy of the e-newspaper being 5 years. I could see how it would be a tremendous risk for a current newspaper give up its printing press, delivery boys, etc. and just gamble on the automatic electronic distribution. I suspect some start up will attempt it, maybe even a telco in alliance with an enewspaper reader, or most likely Amazon will just offer the kindle for free if you agree to sign a 5 year deal to newspaper subscription (in which case I would be the first in line to subscribe).

  StumbleUpon

  I almost signed up for StumbleUpon but their Terms of Service seemed way too anti my online privacy. Who needs that.

  Re: StumbleUpon

  Cacophonus Flowered,
  Just curious if you use other social media sites -- and if you think StumbleUpon's Terms are different from other services...?

  I believe we still need to appreciate the value of that publishing firm.News really helps anyways.
