Do Electricity and Literature Mix?
Friday, October 30th, 2009
Over the past few years, there has been a lot of buzz about eBooks. However, unlike many other fleeting obsessions, eBooks really are entering the mainstream. They are not just a trend anymore, electronic books are here to stay. There are industries forming around them as we speak.
As an author, they are an attractive item because it is extremely expensive to publish and market traditional hardbound books. There are inventory issues and the problem of what to do with unsold copies. These issues are not present in the eBook format. Thanks to technology, the future for these is so bright, they...

Let's talk about the biggest, but still relatively unknown competitor, Microsoft's Zune. The Zune is a digital audio player produced by Microsoft. The line also includes Zune software and the Zune Marketplace services sold by Microsoft, which provide online music, video, and podcast downloads.

Remember that time when you finally mustered up enough money to splurge? After a few weeks, or months, of thinking about how you wanted a new mp3 player but did not know if you wanted the whole nine yards (Internet browser, stopwatches, touch screen, playlists, album art, etc. ) you finally gathered up your confidence to purchase the famed iPod Touch. Either that or you decided that it was time for a new MacBook, and you took the deal that enabled you to get a Touch for dirt cheap.
