Truly Revolutionary Mashups
,----[ Quote ]
| The Amazon Kindle, The Sony E-Reader and the
| iREX iliad all use Linux operating systems.
|
| I'm sure you knew that.
|
| The IREX Iliad makes its code fully available
| to Open Source developers, even if IREX is a
| little slow off the mark with their SDKs. The
| other two only release the bits of code that
| they are duty bound to do so under the GPL.

OpenInkpot: free software for e-book readers
,----[ Quote ]
| Back in July, Jonathan Corbet lamented that
| Amazon was making the Kindle an unattractive
| hacking target for Linux users. The comments
| to his article suggested having a closer look
| at OpenInkpot, a fairly new Linux distribution
| for e-book readers. This much in advance: It
| doesn't run on the Kindle. Not yet, anyway.

Will eBooks Kill Off The Hard-Cover Book?
,----[ Quote ]
| Arnaud Nourry, CEO of French publishing group Hachette Livre told the
| Financial Times that pressure from Googleâs (GOOG) digital library project
| and from the move by Amazon (AMZN), Barnes & Noble (BKS) and others into
| electronic books is forcing publishers to consider drastic price cuts. He
| thinks one result could be the death of hardback books.
