"Much has been made about Apple’s recent changes to the iOS terms. At first, everyone was sure that many big players would be forced to pull their apps, such as Amazon’s popular Kindle app. But then Apple relaxed the rules a bit, and simply said that Amazon and others couldn’t link to their own stores from their iOS apps. Amazon complied. But at the same time, they were also working on an alternative."

"Well, it's happened. As TechCrunch noted today, Amazon has quietly launched read.amazon.com, a full-featured HTML 5 version of the Kindle that runs perfectly on the iPad browser, looks for all the world like a native application after it's been added to the iPad home screen as an icon and can even store books to read offline."

"First, a little history. Just last year, the magic price point for a lot of indie (self-published) authors was $2.99. Why $2.99? Well, if you price your e-book at $2.99 or higher, you get a 70 percent royalty or from Amazon when using its Kindle Direct system or 65 percent from Barnes & Noble when using its PubIt! self-publishing platform. That means that if you set your price to $2.99 you make around $2 on each copy you sell, which is damn good, especially if you sell a lot of copies, which certain indie authors do."

"My advice is consistent: right now, the two best e-readers are the latest edition of Amazon's Kindle ($139 or $189, depending on configuration), and Apple's iPad ($499 to about $860). You'll want one of those two. They're easy to choose between because they're polar opposites in every way. "

"For a decade, consumers mostly ignored electronic book devices, which were often hard to use and offered few popular items to read. But this year, in part because of the popularity of Amazon.com’s wireless Kindle device, the e-book has started to take hold."

"Princeton follows Yale, Oxford and the UC Berkeley in creating textbooks for the Kindle. In the United States, there are about 2,500 four-year universities so Amazon still has a long way to go."
