Update to Amazon Buys Stanza.
What Amazon gains - by Chad Berndtson:
1. Exploding base of e-reader consumers - 1.3 million users worldwide
2. More than 40,000 books downloaded a day from Lexcycle
3. Successful team with expertise, supporting widely different formats
4. Possible willingness to use Stanza for the kind of 'free'-use items phase that brought Apple its success with the iPod.
5. Further consolidation of a market it already dominates
6. Pre-emptive move before Apple, eager to dominate the digital-everything market, could buy it.

NOTE: TO AVOID SPAM being posted instantly, this blog uses the blogger.com "DELAY" feature.
Am often away much of the day, and postings won't show up right away. Posts done to use referrer-links may never show up.
Usually, am online enough to release comments within a day though, so the hard-to-read match-text tests for commenting won't be needed this way.
Feedback and questions are welcome. Thanks for participating.
Technical Problems?
If you're having problems leaving a Comment, Google's blogger-help asks that you clear the 'blogger.com' cookies on your browser's Tools or Options menu bar and that will fix the Comment-box problems (until they have a permanent fix).
IF that doesn't work either, then UNcheck the "keep me signed in" box -- Google-help says that should allow your comment to post (it's a workaround to a current bug).
Apologies for the problems.
TIP: There's a size limit. If longer than 3500 characters or so, in a text editor, make two posts out of it.
