“Reading devices” – inappropriate language for Amazon

I opened last week a little Amazon store at my blog, where I list products which fit my interests. Today I was trying to create a Listmania list with e-reading devices available at Amazon.

The thing is that it was not possible to publish it. A terrible line “Sorry! Inappropriate language was used” appeared every time after I pressed a “Publish list” button. Originally I filled with information every field. Then got rid of everything except a title. Checked “eReaders”, “E-book readers”, “e-Reading devices” and a couple of other options. Finally I used “Reading devices” – which is Kindle’s original description. You see the result. »»»

Interview: Nick Name

It’s my pleasure to  republish an interview we had in early 2009 with Adrian Graham for The Digital Fiction Show. The original blog is gone, but you can read Adrian’s great stuff at Small Stories project.

Who exactly is Nick Name or is his identity being kept secret for a creative reason?

Nick Name is a person or a team, rather, who wants to be a living example of something which is happenig in front of our eyes – people are getting more and more identities. In times of mighty Internet, people select, adjust, create who they want to be to what they want to achieve – and they are just using this possibility of being anonymous to put different faces around. Each one of us has several Internet nicknames, personalities. Nick Name is just the opposite – several people try to have/can have/have one personality. It’s an artistic experiment, early stage, we’ll see how it evolves. »»»

Mobile fiction – what is it and why is it at all?

Mobile fiction? What the hell is it? Another stupid name “invented” by a DIY author to describe his writing? Probably you’re right. But are you brave enough to give it a try? The fact that The New York Times didn’t write about it, doesn’t mean that it’s completely unimportant.

What is it?

Mobile fiction is fiction literature written with a mobile reader in mind. Mobile reader is the one who reads mo-books. Mobile reader is a tech-nerd with high level of novelty acceptance. He’s driven by technology and doesn’t want to be stopped. Lives quickly, likes to do many things at once, needs to be plugged in.

One can say: yeah, but Dan Brown is also writing for, as you call him “a mobile reader”. His books are also available in electronic format, you can read them on a Kindle, so why all that fuss?

Every author imagines his readers in situations when they’re “swallowing” his books. Such an image is one of writer’s muses. My muse is definitely not spending 12 hours on a sofa under a heavy blanket (as Brown’s muse could do). My reader is reaching for a book while he’s on the go. 20 minutes in an underground, 7 minutes in a queue. I also imagine that my reader is often switching to Twitter, RSS reader, games or application store on his smartphone. He doesn’t distinguish reading a book from any other kind of reading. »»»

Nieplanowany wpis o tym, że Nokia to cienki tech-absurd

Ten wpis będzie z cyklu “jak technologia rozpieprza nam życie”, a jego głównym bohaterem – telefon Nokia.

Przed gwiazdką odebrałem dla żony nowy telefon w zamian za przedłużenie umowy z operatorem. Model 6700 czyli nie taki znowu niedzisiejszy. Jedyną rzeczą jaką chciałem zrobić było przekopiowanie 750 kontaktów ze starego Sony Ericssona. No i zaczęła się walka. Otóż Nokia nie przyjmuje plików vcf, gdy zapisanych jest w takim pliku więcej kontaktów niż jeden. Najpierw próbowałem przez Bluetooth. Za każdym razem przesyłanie pliku było przerywane. Dało się tylko w przypadku, gdy wysyłałem pojedyncze kontakty. Ale jak tu wysyłać pojedyncze kontakty, jak jest ich 750? Nie dawałem za wygraną. Ten sam plik przesłałem na inne telefony, żeby sprawdzić, czy to problem pliku, czy telefonu. Można było bez problemu zapisać wszystkie kontakty – i w innym Sony Ericssonie i w iPhonie. Ale w cudownie lśniącej Nokii nie. »»»
