We&#8217;re burning them because it&#8217;s cold and it&#8217;s dark, and there&#8217;s nothing better than curling up in front of a warm fire with a cup of tea, reading your Kindle. Oh, who am I kidding. There&#8217;s one thing better. Paying next to nothing for it and getting to watch movies or listen to music or play games and check your email. But don&#8217;t take my word for it.

Now STFU<\/a>.<br><em>As you know by now, Amazon revealed the worst kept secret ever today. No seriously, a worse secret than the iPad. Wait a minute&#8230; this IS a Kindle vs iPad fight! A battle to discover who keeps a secret the worst. By the way, Kindle really is not an iPad killer. it&#8217;s a Nook Color killer. Poor little Nook.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB10001424052970204226204576598661866214854.html\">Samsung and Microsoft Reach A Royalty Deal Over Android Patents<\/a>.<br><em>The deal goes beyond that and includes a WP7 marketing deal. This makes 2 of the top three Android OEMs paying Microsoft royalties. Just to put it in context, HTC and Samsung represent nearly 50% of all Android sales. This is huge. Google is calling them out about it, and also crying. However, Google is also a childish company that walks into a serious bid <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/2011\/07\/02\/us-dealtalk-nortel-google-idUSTRE76104L20110702\">playing numbers games<\/a>.

Microsoft currently has a deal with them but it doesn&#8217;t cover Android. The original Kindle runs on a Linux and &nbsp;toe touches some of Microsoft&#8217;s patents. The deal seems to be amicable enough. However, it looks like there may be a return to the table for both parties.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2011\/09\/28\/amazon-tops-1-million-kindle-books-in-just-four-years\/\">By The Way, Amazon Has Gone From 90,000 Ebooks To Over A Million In Four Years<\/a>.<br><em>Amazon&#8217;s on fire today&#8230; *rimshot* Four years ago when this journey began, they only had 90,000 Ebooks. Now let&#8217;s be clear, when Amazon quotes how many titles it has, it doesn&#8217;t include public domain works. Public domain works number in the hundreds of thousands. So in reality, they actually had access to almost half a million books. but in Kindle books alone, it was just 90,000. That was four years ago. Today, they have over a million titles. After a number of false starts, it looks like the e-revolution and the death of the paper tyranny is finally beginning. The battle will tear families apart&#8230; or not.
