Switched On: Big Kindle on Campus {Engadget}
May 9th 2009 11:27PM @dlomax: There's yet another possiblity, but Amazon (and the academic publishers) might not like that. Professors might make textbooks available for free. I've participated in writing a textbook, and nowadays, most of the work is done by the authors (including the layout). Despite that fact, the authors get little or no money at all, unless their book becomes a bestseller. So the incentive to write a book is mostly to gain prestige and visibility in the academic community. So, why not make books available for free to your students, on the university webpage? (some authors do that already know, e.g., Bruce Eckel, see http://www.mindviewinc.com/Books/).

iTunes Store's new pricing scheme affects the charts, that Lightspeed Champion guy expresses surprise {Engadget}
Apr 13th 2009 8:54AM This is all just the fault of the music pirates (it some intricate plot), and I'm sure that the RIAA will find somebody to sue to get their money back! To start with, they'll probably sue all the customers who bought the lower priced songs, for not buying the $1.29 tracks.
