		<description><![CDATA[It’s no secret that the sales of e-readers seems to be flattening out lately, as just about everyone who would ever have wanted to buy an e-reader has by now already bought one. As the bottom of the barrel of customers draws near, Amazon is about to embark on a new initiative designed to sell [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Venture Galleries has an amusing little anecdote called “Arrogance Doesn’t Become You,” by author Stephen Woodfin. It follows a dialogue between a pair of retiree readers on a Florida beach—one reading a Kindle, the other a printed book. Though the anecdote is fictional, it’s clearly drawn from real life examples. “I’ve seen a Kindle before, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reasons not to adopt e-books: we’ve heard them all before. Needing electricity to read, losing a big investment if we leave it on the bus, complete lack of the aroma so crucial to having a fulfilling reading experience. But there are some other, compelling reasons to think twice about adopting e-books that many people never [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps this isn’t directly about e-books, except insofar as a tablet can be used as an e-reader, but I was so amused to learn today that Hasbro is suing Asus over the name of its latest hybrid tablet/netbook device that I just had to share it. I’m not surprised. I can honestly say I had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Late-night comedians, by their nature, have to cater to a fairly broad audience. After all, they can’t keep their ratings up if most of the people watching them don’t get what they’re joking about. Which is why you could say that if one of the more popular late-night comedians works a skit about an e-reader [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some online comments I read recently made a point about the potential success of the indie ebook writer: The odds of becoming a successful indie ebook writer (and by &#8220;successful,&#8221; I mean earning a significant income from ebooks) is actually lower than your chances of winning the lottery. Once I got past the depressing implication [...]]]></description>
