So does this mean I can now insert a smartphone and get a woman pregnant? No? Then it's not an app.

I've got a similar 13" ereader. I really don't think it's any good for reflowable formats. A device that size is less an ereader than it is a document display tool, if that makes any sense.

Son'y device was marked down, and now sells for $800. And another similar model is up for pre-order.

"The right-hand side of the page will be left free for Google's own Product Listing Ads. "

What the above summary missed was that the new payment terms only apply to the books authors put into Kindle unlimited, and not to the entire Kindle Store. http://the-digital-reader.com/... Amazon made the change to encourage authors to submit longer works to KU. The old terms were based on per ebook read, not page. That favored short works over longer works.

If they haven't named the craers yet, I suggest we call them Mel Gibson's career.

It turns out that he did have a formatting issue in the ebook: http://the-digital-reader.com/... The author coded the ebook by hand and used minus signs in place of hyphens. While that would look okay when you read the ebook, a TTS engine would have issues.
