			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday I came across this great post on Google Groups, its a list of Kindle disorders that Kindle owners tend to suffer from - enjoy;</p>
<blockquote><p>A few days ago I detected a certain malady that some Kindle users may have experienced.  I have come to learn that there are many more conditions, symptoms and maladies of which I believe my fellow Kindle users should be aware.  The list is not exhaustive so please feel free to add any additional items as you may have experienced on your own.</p>
<p>Kindle Abandonment Syndrome: The feeling of concern when you cannot find a newly published or previously published book in Kindle format which results in you sending threatening letters to publishing houses or checking the “New on Kindle” site every ten minutes.</p>
<p>Kindle Anxiety Syndrome:  Worrying that your Kindle will run out of charge before you can reach your home and your charging cord.</p>
<p>Kindle Separation Anxiety:  This manifests symptoms which include trying to tap the next page button on a paperback or hardcover book, if you still read those!</p>
<p>Kindle Agoraphobia:  The fear of traveling to a destination that goes not have Whispernet access, like a foreign country, a remote location, or a tunnel.</p>
<p>Kindle Envy Condition: This is when people post negative comments about the Kindle on forums without having ever owning one.</p>
<p>Kindle Curiosity Malady: This is when you spot another Kindle owner in public and you insist he or she show you what they have downloaded on their Kindle.</p>
<p>Kindle Braggadocio: This is when you give a ten minute demonstration of how your Kindle works when someone casually asks if that is a Kindle.</p>
<p>Kindle Confusion Malady:  This is when you repeatedly lick your finger when you tap the next page button.</p>
<p>Kindle Hoarding Syndrome:  This is a condition where you have downloaded 2000 books from every free e-book website you can find.  It is particularly serious when you download the Russian versions of<br />
Tolstoy’s books and you cannot read Russian.</p>
<p>Kindle Displacement Condition: This is a condition where you consider your Kindle a member of your family and purchase seven designer covers and extra SD cards but neglect to buy your family milk.</p>
<p>Kindle Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: This is when you check the Velcro patch which secures your Kindle to its case every half hour to ensure it won’t slip out again.  It can also manifest itself with the<br />
purchase of multiple batteries and the constant checking of your Amazon Media Library.</p>
<p>Kindle Carpel Tunnel Syndrome:  Intense pain in your thumbs from speed reading on your Kindle. </p>
<p>Kindle Obesity:  This is the insistence that gaining weight is only due to the fact that with a belly you can now read your Kindle while lying prone.</p>
<p>Kindle Perplexity Disorder:  This is when a patient insists that any reading matter he or she received must be in either asw, prc or pdf convertible format because “I don’t read anything that isn’t<br />
Kindlized.”</p>
<p>Kindle Grammar Abuse:  Using the word Kindle as anything other than a noun: such as is it Kindleable?; can you Kindlize that? Or I don’t do anything unKindled.</p>
<p>You may ask is there a cure for these maladies.  I fear that no cure is available.  My only hope that is when the Kindle becomes universally accepted like the IPod and the laptop computer, these maladies will be readily accepted by the population.</p></blockquote>
<p>Some of these are hilarious and are especially true for me. Do you have any Kindle related disorders you would like to share?</p>

<p>Another day, another Kindle competition. Surpass Hosting is staging a contest where the winner can bag themselves a Kindle.</p>
<p>Its a lot easier to enter than the <a href="http://www.blogkindle.com/2008/07/authorislandcom-birthday-kindle-giveaway/">previous competition</a> we told you about, all you have to do it write a haiku - simple.</p>
<blockquote><p>Give us a great haiku about Surpass Hosting and win an Amazon Kindle to further enjoy poetry and reading.</p>
<p>“The most common form for Haiku is three short lines. The first line usually contains five (5) syllables, the second line seven (7) syllables, and the third line contains five (5) syllables. Haiku doesn’t rhyme.” Here is an example haiku:</p>
<p>i love you surpass<br />
you make my sites go so fast<br />
happy webmaster</p>
<p><a href="http://www.surmunity.com/a/28888-haiku-entries-post-here.html" title="Just post your entry in this thread" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.surmunity.com');">Just post your entry in this thread</a>, then on August 29th we’ll all vote for the winner. It’s a community feeling.</p></blockquote>
<p>Sometimes I wish that I had a Kindle to give away, I have so many competition ideas, but no prizes to give away =(</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="attachment wp-att-22" src="http://www.blogkindle.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/kindle-7.jpg" alt="Keyboard" width="285" height="180" align="right" />If your one of the many people interested in buying the Kindle, but unfortunately you live outside the US, then until Amazon decides to release Kindle in your local you cant enjoy the benefits of owning a Kindle. Kindle owners here in the US are also interested in knowing whether using their Kindles outside the US is possible. Amazon states in it&#8217;s FAQ section that it is working on releasing the Kindle for international markets and asks that international customers to sit tight for the time being.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s not good enough for some.</p>
<p>Where there&#8217;s a will, there is way. A post by Nerdgirl on her site offers a solution for those unwilling to wait for the official Kindle release in their country. The hack involves tricking Amazon into thinking that your billing address is associated with a US address &#8212; apparently Amazon does not verify the address unless you purchase a dead-tree book. This then allows you to associate a Kindle device with your Amazon account, once your Kindle is associated with your account you can use gift certificates to buy e-books. But if your expecting them to be delivered wirelessly then think again, they wont be, you will have to transfer the e-book via USB.</p>
<p>The very fact that someone has discovered this hack proves that people outside the US are itching to get their hands on the Kindle.</p>
<p>You can read the full instructions on Nerdgirls website by following the link below.</p>

<p>Oh my god, why is everyone is looking at me??!!!&#8230; are you the type of person who gets paranoid about what people are thinking when you indulge in the latest self-help book? Lets face it there are some books which are just plain embarrassing to be seen with, The Amazon Kindle official blog has a humorous post about one bloggers addiction to self-help books and how they make her feel, she lists what&#8217;s going through her mind when she&#8217;s reading on the bus;</p>
<blockquote><p>Me (reading): He&#8217;s Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys<br />
Bus passenger (thinking): &#8220;That chick probably gets dumped a lot.&#8221;</p>
<p>Me (reading): How Not to Look Old<br />
Bus passenger (thinking): &#8220;She should have read that a couple of decades ago.&#8221;</p>
<p>Me (reading): The Secret<br />
Bus passenger (thinking): &#8220;She watches too much Oprah.&#8221;</p>
<p>Me (reading): Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires<br />
Bus passenger (thinking):  &#8220;Geez&#8230;yesterday she was reading The Secret.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>For those of you who are conscious about what other people are thinking when you read your book the Kindle makes reading your weird little titles a little more bearable in public, no longer do you have to hide the cover or find a secluded spot to read your book, the Kindle offers protection because the title you are reading remains anonymous. However now people will now think you are cool because you own a Kindle, or are they just saying that because you own a Kindle?&#8230; hmm</p>
<p>Has the Kindle made you more a adventurous reader in public?</p>

Warren Buffett said he was impress with the Kindle after hearing &#8220;wildly enthusiastic&#8221; reviews by attendees at Herb Allen&#8217;s annual gathering of the rich and famous in Sun Valley, Idaho.</p>
<p>Below is the video clip from the CNBC interview and part of the transcript.</p>
<p><iframe id="playerEmbedIFRAME" name="CNBCVideo25612701" src="http://www.cnbc.com/id/25612701" frameborder="0" width="360" scrolling="no" height="300"></iframe></p>
<blockquote><p>Julia Boorstin: I should start off with a question about this conference. I heard this morning that the Kindle is a big topic, talking about the publishing industry changing, and (Amazon CEO) Jeff Bezos made a presentation. I heard you don&#8217;t even have a cell phone. What do you think of the Kindle?</p>
<p>Julia: You do!</p>
<p>Buffett: It&#8217;s an 1893 model, I think. Alexander Graham Bell gave this to me personally. (Laughs.)</p>
<p>Julia: Does this mean you&#8217;re going to be getting a Kindle?</p>
<p>Buffett: I probably will, after hearing about it today. And I ran into a number of people that have Kindles and who are just in love with them. In fact, a woman that is the wife of another attendee here, came in on the plane with us, and she was using a Kindle and was wildly enthusiastic about it.</p>
<p>Julia: So this is going to be your new technology?</p>
<p>Buffett: Well, who knows? I mean, I kind of edge into technology. I&#8217;m just getting into the 20th century. I&#8217;ll be working on the 21st century pretty soon, yeah. (Laughs.)</p>
<p>Julia: What is the mood at this conference this year?</p>
<p>Buffett: Well, the mood .. I would say that people just love being here. That&#8217;s what happens. I was at a barbeque last night and everybody had such a good time. So I have not yet heard a discouraging word, as we say in Wyoming. (Laughs.) But, I&#8217;m sure some of the people have got their own problems in their own businesses, but nobody&#8217;s talked about it yet.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" style="float: right;" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/digital/fiona/general/stack._V257833107_.png" alt="See a Kindle in your city" width="200" height="196" />The Amazon folks are eager to get the word out about Kindle and they really want people to see a Kindle device, so much so that they want existing Kindle owners to go out and market the device for them! On May 19th Amazon requested that Kindle owners to go out and market the Kindle, actively encouraging you to meet stranger with your $400 Kindle device plus the value of books to meet a total stranger and &#8220;show off&#8221; - Amazon&#8217;s own words - sounds like a recipe for disaster if you ask me.</p>
<p>I wonder which smart alec at Amazon PR thought <a href="http://www.amazon.com/See-Kindle-Your-City/forum/FxBVKST06PWP9B/Tx7BPDEI2A5HVO/1/ref=cm_cd_ef_tft_tp?%5Fencoding=UTF8&amp;asin=B000FI73MA" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.amazon.com');">this idea up</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>We&#8217;ve heard feedback that many Kindle owners love their Kindle and like showing it off. Some of you even said you have trouble reading Kindle in public because people always ask, &#8220;What is that?&#8221; We&#8217;ve also heard from prospective customers who would love to see a Kindle before they buy one.</p>
<p>We created the &#8220;See a Kindle in Your City&#8221; area to help prospective owners connect with Kindle owners to get a chance to see the device in person. We started with a selection of cities - find yours or start one for your city. Whether you want to meet at your local coffee shop, a public park, or your favorite watering hole is up to you. We hope you enjoy meeting your fellow Kindlers.</p>
<p>Please cut and paste the following link in your browser to go to the &#8220;See a Kindle in your City&#8221; discussions.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_6880512_1?ie=UTF8&amp;docId=1000230941&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_s=center-28&amp;pf_rd_r=1EM58QCDRWVNSGTDC7V5&amp;pf_rd_t=201&amp;pf_rd_p=398638101&amp;pf_rd_i=B000FI73MA" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.amazon.com');">[converted to link -ed]</a></p></blockquote>
<p>As <span style="white-space: nowrap;">Michael</span> V. Accettura puts it &#8220;What an outrageous request from amazon!&#8221; - I couldn&#8217;t agree more, Amazon want us Kindle owners to do their job and market the device for them. How about you go out there Amazon, and show off the Kindle yourself? I could understand this request if Amazon was employing some kind of referral system where a sale would result in cash compensation or perhaps a couple of free Kindle e-books from the Kindle store, but Amazon aren&#8217;t even doing that.</p>
<p>User Diane point out this may be the perfect &#8220;steal a Kindle&#8221; opportunity for all technology loving crooks and looking through the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_6880512_1?ie=UTF8&amp;docId=1000230941&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_s=center-28&amp;pf_rd_r=1EM58QCDRWVNSGTDC7V5&amp;pf_rd_t=201&amp;pf_rd_p=398638101&amp;pf_rd_i=B000FI73MA" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.amazon.com');">forum</a>, unsurprisingly, very few people have taken Amazon up on their offer to parade their Kindle around in front of strangers.</p>
<p>Finally to quote Micael V. Accettiura again &#8220;I appreciate the offer to become an unpaid pimp for the kindle, but no thanks amazon.&#8221;</p>
<p>Would you take your precious Kindle and show it off to a complete stranger?</p>

<p><a href="http://us.macmillan.com/TorForge.aspx" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/us.macmillan.com');">Tor Books</a> is a major hardcover and paperback science fiction and fantasy publisher, one of the largest in the English-speaking world, it announced recently that it was working on a new community website which would be a “go-to site, a central community” for science fiction and fantasy fans, this website will act, in part, as a form of branding and promotion for Tor book titles. The site will also implement light social networking elements and publish original short fiction and nonfiction for free online, all DRM free.</p>
<p>Here is the hook from the front page of <a href="http://www.tor.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.tor.com');">Tor.com</a></p>
<blockquote><p>A science fiction and fantasy site not <em>quite</em> like any you’ve seen before, mixing news, commentary, original stories and art, your own comments and conversations, and more. A place on the net you may find yourself wanting to visit—and participate in—every day.</p></blockquote>
<p>While there isnt any more information on the site Patrick Nielsen Hayden is on the team that is developing the site, he had this to say;</p>
<blockquote><p>But we know several things. We know that the site will use a blog-like architecture to present an ongoing stream of news, opinion, and observation from various Tor people, myself included, about the SF and fantasy events of the day—and about perhaps less-current things that are nonetheless of interest to SF and fantasy readers, such as medieval siege engines, the Van Allen Belt, hoisin sauce, XKCD, and the novels of Georgette Heyer. We know that there will be non-Tor bloggers also posting to the “front page”; in fact we’ve already recruited several in order to ensure coverage of particular niche areas. (Some of these individuals will be familiar to Making Light readers—wave hello, Bruce Baugh—and we haven’t finished recruiting, either.) We know that the site will also feature new original fiction on a regular basis, illustrated under the supervision of art director Irene Gallo, and that these original stories—free of DRM, offered as part of the blog feed and also Available For Your Convenience in a variety of other formats—will have their own associated open comment threads, just like everything else on the blog. We know that there will be lightweight “social networking” features for registered users, including the ability to form mutual-interest groups through tagging and the ability to create journals and/or discussions of their own. Most of all, we know that the real point of the exercise isn’t to create yet another blog, but rather, a place and a context for the lively, ongoing, wide-ranging, and profoundly self-organizing discussions that have characterized the science fiction subculture since its earliest days. In other words, it’ll be a lot like Making Light, except with original fiction and art, more front-page bloggers, a more direct connection to SF and fantasy, and run out of the middle of Tor Books.</p></blockquote>
<p>From what I have gathered from various sources a few dozen authors have already been approached to submit their work, Tor is possible paying upward of 25 cents per word for some of the stories from the prominent authors. Once the  titles are published on the site they will also be accompanied by commissioned artwork.</p>
<p>Beta testers can apply to join the private beta by sending an email to tor.betatest@gmail.com, however that maybe unnecessary since the launch may be imminent - it is due for launch sometime in May.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.blogkindle.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/livre-2.jpg" alt="livre ebook concept" class="imageframe" height="500" width="500" /></p>
<p>Last month Amazon&#8217;s CEO Jeff Bezos said &#8220;the Kindle, in terms of demand, is outpacing our expectations.&#8221; Now with that kind of success it is probably reasonable to assume that Amazon is already hard at work on Kindle v2 and that competitors are also hard at work on their own Kindle-like devices. One aspect of the Kindle that many have criticized is that it lacks a stylish design, and I mostly agree.</p>
<p>Now enter student Designer Nedzad Mujcinovic from Monash University who has come up with a beautifully designed e-book for the Dyson Australian International Design Awards which could give Amazon some food for thought. His design would use the now familiar e-ink technology, but unlike the Kindle would feature a touch screen component. This would remove the need for a keyboard instead relying on a gesture based input system. Pages can be turned by sliding your finger from one corner to the other corner and double or even triple-finger gestures will advance the book by ten and 50 pages respectively. One aspect of the Livre e-book concept I find intriguing is listed in its description - &#8216;<em>The silicon body adds flexibility to excite the feel of soft cover books.</em>&#8216; I love the idea of having a &#8216;bendy e-book&#8217;!</p>
<p>I like the design and the idea of a multi-touch surface which would increase the reading area by removing the need for a tactile keyboard, however the design is a bit too bulky and would look a lot better if it lost half an inch in width. Overall the Livre does a better job of mimicking a book than the Kindle and the multi-touch would allow for a better user experience so it gets a thumbs up from us.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.blogkindle.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/livre-1.jpg" alt="livre ebook concept" class="imageframe" height="500" width="500" /></p>

<p>The product description:</p>
<blockquote><p><u>Product Description and Principal Function(s)</u><br />
As high density living puts a strain on private space, storage space tends to suffer the most. One of the items people find hard to let go of are books. To those who own a lot of books, books are much more than what meets the eye. Collections of books tend to be ones’ pride and memory on certain moments in life. When taking a dusty book of the shelf one may remember the state of mind on the first read years ago&#8230; LIVRE is a new age book, a product that addresses all of these aspects of book reading!</p>
<p><u>Why does the product represent design excellence and why do you believe it deserves an Australian Design Award?</u><br />
This project represents excellence in design due to the fact that it fully addresses all that was set out to be achieved. The resulting product is an electronic device that is innovative in every way. It succeeds where all competitors&#8217; products fail. It is not an electronic book reader as we know it. LIVRE is a product that takes books to the next level. LIVRE is the book of the future. LIVRE feels, looks and functions like a traditional paper book, yet it presents an evolved version using modern day electronics to further improve the experience and functionality!</p>
<p>The traditional stitched leather cover brings the feel, tactility and smell of old style books to LIVRE. The cover dsign allows the user to make DIY covers from any material or by covers to suit a particular collection of books, ie &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; series. The silicon body adds flexibility to excite the feel of soft cover books.</p>
<p>Interaction happens via a thin capacitive touch screen mounted on top of an electronic paper screen (&#8217;eINK&#8217;). Browsing pages happens by striking the screen from right bottom corner towards the centre of page to go forward or from the left hand corner to go backwards. Doing that using one finger will browse one page, two will browse ten pages and three will browse fifty pages at a time.</p>
<p>Charging and file transfer happens via USB typeB mini port. Wireless file transfer via Bluetooth is also available.</p>
<p>Options like changing font size and status overview are not &#8216;in your face&#8217;, they are rather hidden, yet accessible at user&#8217;s discretion.</p>
<p>The aesthetic of the LIVRE was inspired by old style disintegrated books and modern sculptural movements. The general shape of the LIVRE is one that most readers of traditional books wish their books were by trying to fold and bend them for easy one handed holding.</p>
<p>LIVRE is the book of the future!</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kindle owner John Federico recently had some trouble with his Kindle after it developed a crack on the bottom of the device, this is what he had to say about Amazon&#8217;s customer support;</p>
<blockquote><p> I love my Kindle and I’m a big fan of Amazon - even more now after dealing with their Kindle Customer Support folks.</p>
<p>My Kindle developed a strange crack on the bottom of the unit where the ports and volume control are located. I called Amazon support to explain the situation and they immediately shipped a new Kindle (so I wouldn’t be without mine while they replaced it.)</p>
<p>When the new one arrived, the process for deactivating the original Kindle and activating the replacement was fast and flawless.</p>
<p>I packed up my original unit into the replacement’s box, slapped on the return shipping label that Amazon sent me and off it went, back to Kindle-land.</p>
<p>Nice job, guys.</p></blockquote>
<p>Nice job indeed - it seems like the Amazon customer service guys did a great job in dealing with John&#8217;s problems, I am a bit surprised that they shipped out a replacement before requesting John&#8217;s Kindle back. However, this is a really good sign that Amazon are looking after their Kindle customers, which is impressive after you read about all the Amazon <a href="http://consumerist.com/tag/amazon/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/consumerist.com');">horror stories</a> out there.</p>

<p>Believe it or not the above picture is not that of a fine old book, but rather a modified case cover for the Kindle! This beautiful piece was made by a user on the mobileread Kindle forum, it features a hand made leather book case, marbleized paper for the end papers, gold leaf to give the impression of gilded pages and a felt-lined holder which keeps the Kindle securely in place. You still don&#8217;t believe me do you? in that case I suggest you scroll down the page and have a look at other the images.</p>
<p>Whilst it does look pretty, a few readers on the forums have pointed out that there seem to be some usability issues. For instance on this particular case-mod the cover does not fold back upon itself which may cause readers to use both hands whilst reading content, however the creator of the case mod assured them that it is not a big issue. I guess the only way of telling if it affects usability is by actually using it.</p>
<p>This case-mod simply blows the standard case you get with the Kindle out of the water, or for that matter any other case out there. I think a commercial venture which would offer this to Kindle owners would be an excellent idea, apparently this case-mod it has already fooled some people into thinking that it is a real book!</p>
<p>Now here are some more picture for you to drool over:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.blogkindle.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/kindle1500.jpg" style="float: right" alt="sold out kindle" />Last December the news was that the Kindle&#8217;s up for auction were <a href="http://www.blogkindle.com/archives/2007/12/kindle-on-ebay-madness/">selling like hot cakes</a>, I thought now that the hype and buzz surrounding the Kindle has calmed down a bit, we should go back and see what the situation is over at eBay.</p>
<p>In December, the Kindle was selling for an average price of $864.04, that was more than double the retail price. Predictably, since then thing have changed and this week the Kindle is selling for an average price of $421.33. The most a Kindle was being auctioned for that I could find $600.00, contrast that with the $1500 just a couple of months ago and its seems like Kindle has truly lost x-factor, at least on eBay it has.</p>
<p>So if you don&#8217;t like your Kindle it seems as though you can still sell without losing any money. So when Amazon gets more Kindles back in stock, the auction prices should drop a bit more so those of you who don&#8217;t own one already might be able to pick up one at a bargain price. That&#8217;s assuming Amazon ever gets any back in stock because it seems like forever now that there hasn&#8217;t been any in stock, of-course we&#8217;ll let you know as soon as Amazon gets them back in stock.</p>
