After closing a $1 million seed funding round led by ICG Ventures, Livrada just went live with e-book cards authors can sell at events, such as conferences, trade shows, books signings and the like. E-book-only authors (like myself) run into problems trying to sell their books at events. What do you do? Have a laptop or tablet [...]

Joanna Cabot — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 18:00:59 +0000

The Proporta Beachbuoy Waterproof Nexus 7 Case was sent to me for review by the kind folks at Mobile Fun. They offered me my choice of Nexus or iPad Mini cases, and given that I stole the Beloved’s book-style for my own purposes, I let him pick. He choose this waterproof case because he’s fond [...]

Pedestal Stand for iPad also holds your toilet paper?

Charles Moore — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 03:08:41 +0000

One of the things I love about my iPad is that it liberates me from the constraints of my desktop workstation and the lousy body English of using a laptop sitting on one’s lap. I can use the iPad in a wide range of venues in my house and yard—pretty much anywhere within range of [...]

Review: MoKo Case for Nexus 7 Tablet

Review: Borders eReader Protection Plan Pack

Chris Meadows — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 04:16:50 +0000

As a preliminary to my “main event”, reviewing the Kobo Wireless Reader I bought yesterday, I’m going to spend a few paragraphs reviewing the protection plan.
