Kindle Upgrade

July 23, 2016

Kindle Upgrade: Comparing first generations Kindle Oasis and Kindle PaperwhiteThree months ago I weighed in on the Kindle Oasis ahead of its release date. I noted the features I wished Amazon had announced and evaluated what they did announce. The Kindle Oasis wasn’t the ideal device that I wished for but in the end, I still decided to upgrade from my Kindle Paperwhite (2012).

On the Upcoming Kindle Oasis; Some personal thoughts from an ebook-loving bibliophileI wanted an ebook reader since I was 9 years old. That was in 1999. Back then they didn’t exist in the market.

With that, I present to you ten ways to acquire audiobooks!

Grief over Managing Ebooks with Adobe Digital Editions

December 9, 2015

Adobe Digital Editions on a Mac in front of bookshelfDigital Rights Management (DRM) is a very sticky issue when it comes to ebooks. You can’t get around it. Even if you break the DRM of an ebook, you still must deal with it. Two dominant systems of DRM are governed by the Amazon Kindle and Adobe EPUB. Basically, these only allow you to access digital media through selected licensed devices.
