Aristotle Pushing Information & eReaders

Today's Conclusion:

Sony Sucks

Kindle is Pleasant

iPhone is Portible

Now for the MEAT:

There's a certain writer whose books I devour.

He's been called "The Artistotle of the Information Age."

Subscribe (top right) because his identity will be a suprise and you want to know, trust me.
If Anyone can guess who this magnificent writer is, Twitter me @30abchgrl leave a comment.

If you must leave and never find out, I understand, there's just too much good info out there and you can't wait.

BUT I aspire to be a beacon (not the George Bush type of Beacon, Silly!). One day I hope this blog will be that for you.

He's been called a lot of names but Mr. Aristotle of the Information Age can't be named or categorized among any other person or writer in history.

He writes like his mama's not in the audience.

Current State: Experiencing Deep Withdrawals.

The good news is: while I've been rationing his words, like a crack junkie, he's published more crack. And I'm sure it's just as good and hopefully better (it's never as good as the first time), than his last couple of batches. Truthfully, two of his books have already blown my mind, equally, well, in different ways.

ebook Reader Devices: A Quick Run-Down

Why chop down all those trees? Why lug books around? Why not publish your own book? Think of the money and time you'll save on all ends of the equation. I know it's rather creepy that we humans are now reading off of screens instead of paper books. But Come ON. it IS the future. We partied like it was 1999 ten years ago!

Ebooks are going to be big. There's no stopping it.

Choosing an ebook Reader Device can be a daunting task, simply because there's lots to choose from , and none seem to be the "ultimate Reader" to buy. Also, the technology of Reading Devices on the drawing room floor far surpass the ones on market now.

BUT if you must buy one today (and I don't blame you), these 3 seem to be drawing the most attention:

• The Amazon Kindle
• The Sony PRS-505
• iRex iLiad Book Edition
  

The Kindle and the Sony are the least expensive of the three. And the iRex is supposed to be the Cream of the Crop. Of course the new Iphone3G has the ability to operate as a Reader too. What doesn't the thing do! But some claim the screen is too small to really enjoy reading on it.

Here's some other noteworthy links:

The Amazon Kindle Store sells downloadable books, newspapers, magazines.

Project Gutenberg's website contains the first and largest single collection of eBooks.

And Here's how to download an ebook on your computer, without a portable device.

Here's Kindle's Self-Publishing tool, where you can sell your own eBook on Amazon.

Subscribe to Cut, Folded & Bound, so you can following along on the Great eBook Journey. Who knows where it will lead.

Signed Obama Books Fetching Presidential Prices

Wowzer! I haven't read any of Obama's books yet. But seeing how I admire his eloquent use of words, I suppose I should. Hopefully the spirit of his signatures will leave behind a miraculous and positive legacy. I know you all must think I'm totally obsessed with Obama, and for the rest of you..... you can't stand it, because the world is coming to an end. And I'm sitting over here acting like a Bush supporter (after he stole the election). You know.... all giddy, because Gore and the rest of the weird-o loser, lazy democrats almost got to count the votes up. I'm just praying for a miracle and HOPING that this will turn into a beautiful story. It already has, really. I hope one day the Republicans will open their hearts and minds. I know you don't like his tax plan, but have you looked at the rest of his plans? Look at the larger picture. It's time you stop obsessing about taxes. There are ways to get around those. Just don't pay them if you don't like them. I know how you feel... to know that you're right. Imagine how it feels when you discover that you're really right. Don't waste our time and energy with cigars anymore. Simmer down.

Everyone wants a piece of Obama history. AbleBooks.com has reported a spike in Obama book sales. Fans are willing to pay anywhere from $500 to $5,500 for a signed copy of Dreams From My Father.

Before the election, the most expensive Obama book sold by AbeBooks.com was a signed copy of Dreams From My Father for $1,798.

The cheapest one available at AbeBooks.com is a signed soft cover of Change We Can Believe In for $975.

And the most sought after Obama book is the signed 1995 first edition copies of Dreams From My Father published when he was still a lawyer and lecturer. The book actually went out of print. Now these rare editions can reach $10,000.

Even though Obama hasn't even move into the White House, prices for his signed books are already comparable to previous presidents. AbeBooks.com has sold a signed copy of Bill Clinton’s My Life for $3,450 and a signed copy of Ronald Reagan’s An American Life for $6,325.
