Kindle Shakedown Series Reprinted at TeleRead

1 February 2010 No Comment

My Kindle Shakedown series is being reprinted at the TeleRead blog. Part 1 has been posted here and there, and eight more posts are planned for the series. Teleread provides news and perspective on e-books, libraries, publishing and related topics. I have found it a helpful source of information as I evaluate the Kindle, so I am pleased to contribute back.
