PLAY on January 28 This is a legitimate question. I have an Amazon Kindle. I realize that it is quickly becoming an obsolete device in terms of tablet computing getting better all the time.

READ on November 9 Starting December first, Amazon is offering newspapers a 70 percent cut of the sales if they transition their digital formats to the Kindle device.

J.K. Rowling Needs To Come Correct

READ on October 2 Good ol’ Just Kidding Rowling who is more rich than I can ever hope to become leaves a crack open into the door that closes off the realm of there possibly being more Harry Potter books in the future…which I think isn’t such a bad thing, really.
