Amazon is one of the most cluttered sites on the web. On average there are around 150 links on a single Amazon page, but this is not the only problem. Opposite to news sites or blogs, where main post area is rather easy to spot, you have to go through several information sections, bars and [...]
6 Tips and Tricks to Use Kindle for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch
Kindle for iOS has just been updated to version 2.8 (iTunes link), which complies with Apple’s new in-app purchase rules. Kindle Store button was removed from home page – it was obvious.

Apple vs Amazon in-app purchase issue: what’s it all about?
When a discussion spread across Internet about Apple changing in-app purchase rules, my first reaction was: it’s pointless. I never bought an ebook by using a “Kindle Store” button on a homepage of a Kindle app. It’s a useless link as Kindle app is the place where you collected all your previous purchase decisions – [...]

Google eBookstore – przedgwiazdkowy falstart e-książkowy

Miała zapewniać swobodny dostęp do wirtualnej półki z każdego urządzenia z przeglądarką. Zero przywiązania do czytnika lub aplikacji dostępowej. Minęło 14 miesięcy, w czasie których byliśmy utwierdzani w przekonaniu, że Google ostatecznie uwolni nas od typowych ograniczeń związanych [...]
iPad jako e-czytnik – lista przydatnych artykułów
W najbliższych dniach odbędzie się oficjalna premiera iPada w Polsce. Źle by się stało, gdyby wiedza przyszłych użytkowników tego urządzenia ograniczona została jedynie do iBooks, w którym polskich książek jest jak na lekarstwo lub do Woblinka, gdzie ciągle nie ma zapowiadanej aktualizacji z modułem płatnych publikacji (w tym bestsellerów).
