The Best e-Readers Compared: Kindle, Kobo, Nook and Reader Throw Down (Switched)

Sep 1st 2010 3:58PM One of the things reviews tend to miss is Library service. If you want to purchase every single book you read, the Kindle is the way to go. If you want to utilize your local library, you need to get one of the others. Libraries are constantly expanding their selection of eBooks.

My nook finally died after testing its battery length (it lasted longer than I expected after the so-so battery life reviews), so I can't verify but I think there is a View Info thingymajig in the menu on the LCD. Hopefully the rating is there because every book I finish, I try and at least give a rating.

Dec 21st 2009 1:29PM Use calibre for everything eBook. Its the best software I've found to manage eBook libraries... without it, my library wouldn't be half as organized.

Dec 21st 2009 1:11PM They broke the My Documents view. It now arranges everything randomly. There are rumors it breaks Adobe Digital Edition books but I don't have any to verify. Everything else is awesome so far. Page turns are much snappier. Formatting is a little faster, but still needs work. The Reading Now button jumps you right to the book with no Formatting screen.

Stardock hiring lots of devs, hints at upcoming projects (Joystiq)

Jul 15th 2009 11:11PM Sins of a Solar Empire was never meant for a campaign. Make up your own epic campaign as you play. Much more exciting. Honestly, I played about two or three of the campaign missions in Gal Civ II and gave up. I didn't even touch the expansion campaigns. I can't wait for the diplomacy expansion to Sins.
