Negative Space: e-readers
- Apple censors Kama Sutra
- Apple denied the beautiful e-reader Eucalyptus because it lets you search the web and find classics works of pornography… like the Kama Sutra. They’ve rejected the app because… you might use it to read Victorian porn.
- Eucalyptus now available
- Apple has relented: you can now view the Kama Sutra in browsers other than Safari.
- Eucalyptus, revisited
-
Eucalyptus is a great replacement for the paperback, not so great at using the fact that it’s a computer. But if you enjoy classics, I highly recommend it; it’s a beautiful e-reader for your iPhone/iPod Touch.
- A gaming library in my pocket?
-
The iBooks application, like, I suspect, all good e-reader software, lets you drag and drop PDFs and images into it.
- George Orwell’s incinerator
- Amazon shows by doing why digital restriction management on consumer items is a bad idea.
- Kindle owners are people who still want to read books
- Maybe it seems like a tautology to say that Kindle is for people who want to read books. But what if reading books is not the future of reading?
