Justice Kagan on Using a Kindle to Read Briefs

Federal Prosecutor's book climbs Kindle charts

As reported in the Washington Post:

when her manuscript for "Law of Attraction" had to be vetted by six senior prosecutors and the first assistant U.S. attorney before she could send it to agents, she was, at best, uncomfortable.

...
Her racy debut novel, released by Simon and Schuster in October and set in the District, draws on her day job of seven years prosecuting domestic violence, rape, child abuse, human trafficking and other sex crimes.

Lee Strobel's Free Kindle eBook: The Case for Christmas

I discovered Lee Strobel on Netflix, where his documentaries including the The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus are available.  He is a Yale Law School graduate and former legal editor for the Chicago Tribune.  A related book of his,  The Case for Christmas: A Journalist Investigates the Identity of the Child in the Manger is now available for FREE on the Kindle.  If you haven't read or watched his work before, give this one a try.

Google eBookstore now Live

Google's much anticipated ebookstore is now live and I am eager to see what new advances in ebook technology may come out of this venture.  Google eBooks are designed to be "compatible with any dedicated ebook reader that supports the Adobe eBook platform, including the Barnes & Noble Nook™ and Reader™ from Sony."  You can see all the supported devices here.

Unlike the Amazon.com Kindle Store , Google does not offer newspaper, magazine, or blog subscriptions or interactive features for use on compatible readers (not that I can find at the time of this posting, at least). 

Note: This blog is available for subscription on the Kindle via Lexorati.

Krazy for Kindle

I don't have an Amazon Kindle (yet), but recently discovered just how many titles are available via FREE Kindle Reading Apps on PC and BlackBerry, among others.  Although Google recently announced they may be pursuing an e-book venture of their own soon, I may be publishing to Kindle sooner.  Will keep you posted!
