Nick Carr (of "The Shallows") is skeptical of the Kindle Fire's new "X-Ray" feature. He writes, "A person of the web may see X-Ray as a glorious advance. A person of the book may see the technology as a catastrophe."

The number of sales of the Steve Jobs biography will be comparatively small for the iBookstore. Publishers and analysts say the iBookstore is still relatively unknown to the general public, especially compared to all the other apps on an Apple screen.

The Kindle has great potential as a device, but as long as Amazon continues to cripple it, readers would be advised to seek alternative e-book solutions.

San Francisco -- Google Inc. is testing a new format that is supposed to make reading online stories as easy as flipping through a magazine, a shift that eventually could feed more advertising sales to revenue-starved publishers.
