How The Kindle Can Avoid Being The Next Zune
It’s the Kindle’s first birthday, and, it still hasn’t become the iPod of eBook readers, as some predicted. Now Silicon Valley Insider’s Dan Frommer is wondering what Amazon can do to turn the Zune into a hit. Here’s the answer: the Kindle needs to become a new media device. The Kindle is a basically an expensive device that lets rich people get access to a store that lets them buy other expensive stuff. It’s a solution to a problem that most people don’t have. To succeed, Amazon needs
This is GREAT NEWS (for me)
THE KINDLE!! If you read GretaWire often, you know two things - one that I love Amazon’s Kindle (I blogged about it months ago) and two that I dropped mine yesterday and broke it.

Building a Dream
The group was silent as the question hung in the air. It was repeated. “What are the dreams that lie deep within your heart?” Slowly the answers came out. “I’ve forgotten how to dream.” “Disappointment in life has kept me from dreaming.” “Just paying the bills and getting through has put all my dreams on the back burner.” “Helping others reach for their dreams left my own right out of reach.” Dreams can get lost. From time to time most of us need a refresher course on building a dream.. The

My experience selling a draft novel on the Amazon Kindle
The first draft of THE HOLE has been available for purchase to Amazon Kindle users since August of this year. I did this as an experiment: would an unrevised draft (a “beta book,” so to speak) both sell if priced low enough and act as a good means for gathering feedback for revision? In short, the answer is “yes” for the first and “no” for the second. What follows is my general experience of the Kindle process, from both a technical standpoint (how easy was it to setup?) and an economic (jus

Point-Counterpoint: On Digital Book DRM
There is increased interest among trade publishers in pursuing some sort of "interoperable digital rights management" (DRM) for digital ebooks. There are many unlikely allies, who think that achieving a little DRM encourages publishers to move into digital spheres, and gives them breathing room. I think this is a really bad idea, and I wanted to publicly detail a few reasons. What I've compiled is largely a list of counter-arguments; there are many affirmative defenses for unencumbered conten

Stop Lying to Yourself About Why You Can’t Save or Invest Right Now
Saving and investing are arguably the two easiest ways to get rich and build wealth. But instead of doing those two things, people put their focus on income and consumption and then make excuses for why there’s nothing to left to save or invest. You’ve all heard the line, “I can’t save anything right now because I need X” or “I can’t invest right now because I need Y”. People using this thought process look at themselves and see someone running as fast as they can and sweating their ass off
