Someone buys a reader once, but content?  Over and over again or so Amazon would hope.  What if the Amazon's MP3 store only worked with the Zune?  I'd hope they would see this as an opportunity more then a competition.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jon Doe.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 9th 2009 6:36PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Plastic Logic announces content partners, open publishers platform]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/plastic-logic-announces-content-partners-open-publishers-platfo/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/plastic-logic-announces-content-partners-open-publishers-platfo/</guid><description><![CDATA[@kjb434<br><br>Because they are different devices with different purposes. The Kindle is for reading books, while Plasitc Logic's reader is for documents, and its size make it perfectly suitable for magazines and newspapers. Maybe Amazon will do another kind of Kindle (possibly licensing Plastic Logic's technology), but it surely makes a lot of sense having a reader like that in addition to the Kindle.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[giuliop]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 9th 2009 7:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Plastic Logic announces content partners, open publishers platform]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/plastic-logic-announces-content-partners-open-publishers-platfo/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/plastic-logic-announces-content-partners-open-publishers-platfo/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ah, and let's not forget technical books, which are next to impossible to read on small screens like the Kindle's.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[giuliop]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 9th 2009 7:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Plastic Logic announces content partners, open publishers platform]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/plastic-logic-announces-content-partners-open-publishers-platfo/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/plastic-logic-announces-content-partners-open-publishers-platfo/</guid><description><![CDATA[So what are some of the options if one wants to read some of those books in the public domain floating around the internets?

In addition to the large amount of books available in its format, it can read PDFs and TXTs.

Besides the best coding examples are those that express a solution to a problem in the lesser amount of code.
