There’s a lot of discussion about e-Books and pricing. I think I understand the author and publisher view. I understand e-Books aren’t necessarily cheaper to produce than paper books, although the costs are different. The New Yorker has an interesting article this morning asking if the iPad will topple the … Continue reading →
As I’ve mentioned, I am trying mostly free iPad apps, but I’ve purchased a few. I’m going to do a rundown on what’s on the iPad that I haven’t mentioned and maybe a few comments on things I have mentioned if there’s something new to note. I’ve removed two apps … Continue reading →
