What an exciting morning! I sat at my PC this morning waiting in anticipation to hear what would be unveiled at the Amazon press conference held at 10:00 am. The rumors were that there would be a new tablet device unveiled. The rumors would be correct! And there was more!
The Kindle Fire is a 7" tablet that incorporates all kinds of media via wi-fi connectivity. It uses IPS display technology (used by iPads), has 8 GB of interanl storage (Free unlimited Amazon content storage via Amazon Cloud), weights 14.6 ounces and 8 hours of continous reading or 7.5 hours play battery life. It's basically a smaller iPad without the 3G possibility with a MUCH smaller price tag: $199. (An iPad starts at $499 with 16 GB of storage, which is double what the Fire offers, so it's compariable if you require more internal storage). Fire will release on November 15th and pre-orders are available as of today with a first come first served. Get in line now!
The Kindle has been redesigned! Say goodbye to the keyboard and hello to a smaller, thinner version! This is truly a great deal! Only want an e-reader? The Kindle is just what you need in a perfect little package with a perfect little price: $79. (with Special Offers) (Without Special Offers you'd pay $109) . It's so small it'll fit in the back pocket of your jeans!
Now do you want an e-reader with a bit of pizzazz? Love the feel of a touch screen tablet but don't want to fork over the extra cash for one? Then the Touch is probably what you'd like. It has a pretty incredible touch screen (I'd suggest watching the video on Amazon). It has a very cool new feature called X-ray. It will automatically download extra information from Wikipedia and Shelfari about the book so you can access it whenever you want with a simple touch of the screen. This new technology is amazing. And so is the price! Kindle Touch Wi-fi: $99 with Special Offers or $139 without Special Offers! Under $100 for a very cool e-reader device. Kindle Touch 3G: $149 with Special Offers or $189 without Special Offers. I like the idea of the Fire but I'm wondeirng if it's better than the iPad? I don't own an iPad but I'd love to. I hate the cost of the iPad but it's comparible because it has double the amount of internal storage as the Fire. I probably won't buy this quite yet but it's really cool to see technology advancing!
I’ve been using Glue for quite a while now. I have the add-on installed on Mozilla Firefox and I have my blog enhanced by Glue.
Don’t know what I’m talking about? Go to GetGlue! Or here’s a brief explanation, What is Glue?
Glue is a service that helps you find your next favorite movie, book, music album or other every day thing (here's a list of supported categories). Glue shows you things that you'll like based on your personal tastes, what your friends like, and what's most popular on Glue.
For me, Glue is a supplement to my general internet browsing. I don’t use it exclusively for internet notations etc. It’s just a cool thing to use. I love rating the books I’ve read with a thumbs up or down and even adding a quick note about it, which can be posted to Twitter and Facebook should you chose.
Glue is pretty cool because it monitors what you visit, what you like/dislike, provides suggestions, allows others to “follow” you, and you get cool stickers!
And you can even become a Guru of things, which has it’s perks because Glue now has Guru giveaways. I’ve won two! I won some movie tickets ($20 of Fandango Bucks) and I just won The Poison Eaters by Holly Black this week.

The Amazon Kindle DX has a 9.7" diagonal e-ink display and a $489 price tag.
It's massive compared to the smaller Kindle, which I <3.
What do you think?
I think it's pretty cool! I don't think I'd use one for my everyday reading but I think it would be neat to use for text books, newspapers, magazines (if color were an option only!) and the like.
I could see this being a huge hit if it were in color. Not so much as black and white. Why isn't it in color yet!?
