Amazon versus Macmillan from a different perspective.
Here’s a different take on the Amazon and Macmillan showdown. Nathan Bransford, literary agent, offers a post called The Kindle Missile Crisis. Excellent read.

More reaction to the release of Apple’s self-described ‘game-changer’ iPad. Thanks to our friend Jorgen for this link to an opinion piece by the Telegraph’s Justin Williams entitled: “Why I don’t want an Apple iPad.” (nuff said?) It’s just the hype-hangover talking, yah?

Apple iPad- More at Engadget.com
Here is a link to Engadget.com (again, great job covering the launch!) where they get their hands on the Apple iPad and give it their ‘first look.’ Sounds like they are both impressed and disappointed.
