Yes, Comic Relief might have been and gone a week ago, but that doesn't mean that the laughter has to end. No way, no how. If anything, it's made our thirst for forced jollity even stronger. Read More >>
It's time to decide which side you're on in the e-reading debate. Are you the sort that mewls about technology, whining on about how 'you don't get the smell or the feel of a real, actual book with those computer thingies'? Yeah, or the germs. Read More >>
Now that Amazon has birthed its Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Fire devices, it could be easy to forget about the classic e-reader, known to most of us as simply ‘the Kindle’. Read More >>

Reuters is reporting that the next Kindle will be front-lit and will be coming out in July. It's a smart move because it'll let users read their Kindles in the dark and an obvious one for Amazon to make as Barnes and Noble already has a front-lit Nook. Read More >>

Amazon's new Kindle Touch is $99, with the Kindle Fire tablet costing an equally preposterous $200. The $99 price point is for the Special Offers version, though, so if you need a totally ad-free reader, the no-ads version will run you $139. Read More >>
This is incredible. The new Amazon Kindle Fire will cost only $199! This is a killer price for a color tablet. Even while it doesn't match the iPad's features, there's going to be some fierce competition this year. Read More >>

Ryan Block at gdgt has word via his sources that the Amazon Kindle Fire—the device that can truly go toe-to-toe with the iPad—isn't the tablet they're putting their faith in. The real new hotness will be the second-gen Fire. And it's coming soon. Read More >>
