Of course, the iPad dominated ebook discussions for the week, even though ebooks are just a small piece of its offering. The last Kindle I saw was being used side by side with an iPhone. ... http://www.scottstearns.com/?p=1110 DESPITE spending less time on commuter and subway trains, the numbers don’t look that much off.  On the flight back from Seattle today it was dueling ebook readers, as one guy had a Sony Reader and one had a Kindle.  The stewardess even mention that we needed to ... http://www.scottstearns.com/?p=1109 THE KINDLES continued to come out of hiding this week. I witnessed another two people reading on their Kindles this week. One person was reading Charles Dickens' The Pickwick Papers, which supports my view that the vast majority of the reading being done with ebook readers consists of ... http://www.scottstearns.com/?p=1108 I EXPECTED there to be a larger number of Kindle’s on the Fitchburg line and the Red line after the Christmas and New Year Holidays.  The first week back on the train started slowly.  At first I saw a Sony Reader.  Not sure if it was a new Daily Edition ... http://www.scottstearns.com/?p=1107 The Boston Book Festival Twitter linked to this interesting little mashup of "The Big Lebowski" and William Shakespeare entitled Two Gentlemen of Lebowski.

It immediately froze to my snowshoes making them kind of deep frozen snowshoes, boots and pants. ... http://www.scottstearns.com/?p=1105 Here is a list of the the wines that Patty and I drank over the end of year holiday time. I am still very fond of the Ken Wright wines. They definitely get better after four years or more in the bottle. A lot of Northwest wines, ... http://www.scottstearns.com/?p=1103 NO SNOW here in Vermont on Christmas Day, but we managed to catch an afternoon showing of the new Sherlock Holmes movie staring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. I wanted to write that this was Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes movie, but they don't really let him off the ... http://www.scottstearns.com/?p=1104 I WILL not be on the commuter rail or subway for the rest of the holiday season, but I find it interesting that I only saw one Kindle in the month of December. Perhaps the Kindles are shy, as there were a lot more out and about in October ... http://www.scottstearns.com/?p=1102 I DECIDED to count the number of Kindles I see on my regular commutes during the month of December. 0 for December 1st, but 1 for today. I looked over and the guy had a Kindle DX, which looked large and in charge compared to my Kindle 1.0. ... http://www.scottstearns.com/?p=1101
