Alex, the Frankenstein’s Monster of e-readers which sews the head of the Kindle onto the tiny, mismatched body of an Android mini-tablet, is available for pre-order.

That’s the idea behind...

There’s yet another e-book reader in the market and this time it is likely to be from retail book giant Barnes & Noble.

Barely weeks after its launch, Barnes & Noble’s Android-based Nook e-reader has been hacked and “rooted” (root, or full system access, has been obtained). This has been done by a loose team of hackers who, like the iPhone Dev Team, are documenting their work on a wiki — Nook Devs. If you tear open a Nook (which the...

Barnes and Noble has updated its iPad e-reader app, and it has fixed many of the oddities that made me describe it as “adequate” back in May. The biggest changes are in the reading interface. You can now dim the display from within the app, just like you can in iBooks and Instapaper. Brightness is one of my biggest niggles with the...

Perhaps to avoid consumer confusion, or to grab back a few headlines from Barnes and Noble’s sweet looking Nook e-reader, Amazon has dropped the Sprint-powered U.S. Kindle and now sells just the international version along with the super-sized DX.
