Kindle Free Pick of the Week - Kindle Buffett

Steve Weber's latest.

Find and download the best free books, magazines and newspapers for your Kindle, iPhone, iPad or Android

That is what this ebook will let you do.

One of the best things about Amazon's Kindle system is that many popular books are offered completely free of charge during brief promotional periods. If you manage to find and download a book while it’s offered free, it’s yours to keep—forever. It’s a great way to sample a new genre, or perhaps discover an author you hadn’t noticed before.

The free promotions usually last only a few days, but there’s a new crop every day. You’ll be amazed at the wealth of great books—usually there are several hundred freebies in virtually every category of fiction and nonfiction, every day of the year. And these aren’t just the dogs that nobody wants, the selection includes bona-fide bestsellers from the most famous authors in the world. You may never have to pay for a book again!

This book will introduce you to KindleBuffet.com, a website and newsletter founded by author Steve Weber to showcase the best Kindle books currently offered free -- plus a multitude of other avenues toward great free content:

Target Stores to Stop Selling Kindles

Target stores are going "Nooks Only."

Target Corp., the second largest U.S. discount chain, will stop selling Amazon.com Inc.’s Kindle brand of e-readers and tablets after two years, while continuing to offer similar products from Apple Inc. and Barnes & Noble Inc.

The Nook brand of e-readers and tablets is made by Barnes & Noble and sold in Target’s stores and through its e-commerce site. Target, based in Minneapolis, also offers Apple’s iPad online and in stores. All Kindles and related products will be out of stores by the end of this month, a spokesperson said.

Barnes & Noble Releases a Color Nook

Another shot was fired today in the ebook reader war.  This time from Barnes & Noble, which announced a color, touchscreen version of its Nook reading device.

The NOOKcolor will go on sale Nov. 19 for $249. It has a 7-inch diagonal touchscreen that displays 16 million colors. Inside, the device has a Wi-Fi radio and 8 gigabytes of memory. It's 8 by 5 inches overall, 0.48 inches thick and weighs 15.8 ounces.

Is it an ebook reader or an Android tablet.  It appears to be both. 

It's built around the Nook electronic bookstore, which competes with Amazon.com's Kindle business, the color Nook is also aiming up-market, at the iPad and upcoming Android tablets.

The device is being pitched as a media consumption tablet, with the ability to browse the Web, play games, send e-mail, participate in social networks and store and play digital music.  Bt will people buy this device to read?

The NOOKcolor is based on Google's Android operating system -- Version 2.1. The store is inviting Android developers to build Nook applications, although they won't be able to directly transfer Android apps to the Nook because it has a custom interface and controls. This isn't good news.  Do we need another Android device with another grouping of apps?  Too confusing for me.

The new Nook will sync with Google's Gmail, so you can use Gmail contacts with social features, including a feature that lets you lend e-books to friends with Nooks.

How the NOOKcolor will do during the holiday season is anyone's guess.  What I do think is if this Nook doesn't take off, Barnes and Noble may be forced to concede to Amazon and Apple.
