Reduced Screen Glare kindle fire hd 8.9

Most tablet displays are made up of two pieces of glass - an LCD on the bottom and a touch sensor on the top, separated by an air gap. With an air gap, light reflects off of every surface as it passes through from the front, creating multiple distracting reflections that reduce display contrast. Kindle Fire HD solves this air gap problem by laminating the touch sensor and the LCD together into a single layer of glass, creating a display that's easy to view, even in overhead light.

Richer Colors at Wider Angles kindle fire hd 8.9

Like many tablets, Kindle Fire HD uses In-Plane Switching (IPS) to improve color reproduction. But displays that only use IPS still appear washed out at various angles, such as laid sideways when reading in bed, laid flat on a table, or held between you and a friend when sharing a movie. Kindle Fire HD addresses this issue by applying an advanced polarizing filter directly to the LCD panel. This results in a display that shows the same deep contrast and rich, detailed color when viewed at any angle.

The $9.99-tag boycott on Kindle books priced over $10

Wired has an article on the boycott, by some energetic Amazon Kindle users, of Kindle e-books priced over $9.99; they're using Amazon's tagging system to identify books which go beyond their maximum acceptable pricing.

  Included in this piece of news were a couple of interesting nuggets by Priya Ganapatti:

Last year, sales of e-books rose 68.4 percent from the year before to $113.2 million, even as overall book sales fell 2.8 percent, according to the Association of American Publishers.  Much of that growth has been driven by the Kindle's popularity.' ...

PDF and EPUB converter ON the Kindle

Gizmodo and O'Reilly report today that there is now a utility offered which runs ON the Kindle and will convert [text-based]PDF and EPUB files to the Kindle's .mobi format.

Called "Savory" and developed by Jesse Vincent, it does not open rights-protected (DRM) books, since that is clearly illegal. As Gizmodo writes:

Big Screen Kindle announcement Wednesday?

Well, that's what several papers are reporting.  This was more or less announced some months ago about Bezos' conversations with textbook companies and the goal of a larger unit for textbooks and periodicals coming out by Xmas. But the announcement in only April will likely involve more details already (and a possibly earlier release date?).  Maybe to get ahead of Plastic Logic's goal for early 2010?  And before all the newspapers fail?  Hearst has been putting heavy money behind E-Ink (see previous articles).
