Kindle V. iPad

Ken Auletta has an overview article in The New Yorker about the iPad, Kindle, and the current state of eBook publishing. The release of the iPad, at least temporarily, prevented Amazon from dictating the price of eBooks at $9.99, but will the new boss be the same as the old boss… hm?

Worth a read, although I never heard the iPad referred to as the “Jesus Pad,”  in any self-respecting publishing circle, as the author claims.

No Stephanie Meyer for you!

Hachette books are unavailable on Amazon, also some Penguin titles, as the tug-a-war between Amazon and publishers over E-book pricing continues. In early February, Amazon removed all of  Macmillan’s buy buttons over E-book pricing.

More at Galley Cat.

Still not quite as good as this golden oldy.
