Welcome to the October 24th Digital Book Readers carnival edition.
Martin Bryant presents 2010 – Year of the E-book Reader? posted at the Next Web, saying, “After a long wait in the shadows, E-books look set to become big business next year.”
Adam Hartley presents Flexible e-book launching early 2010 posted at Techradar, saying, ” Cambridge-based Plastic Logic is months away from launching the world’s first flexible e-ink reader, according to latest reports.”
Bookseller Editor presents Is an Apple e-reader a juicy prospect? posted at Allbusiness.com, saying, ” Whether or not Apple unveils a killer e-book application, the steady growth in the size of iPod screens means it is only a matter of time before book content is being read on its distinctive devices.”
Can an e-book disappear from memory of your digital reading device? Madeleine Begun Kane presents Kindle Controversy posted at Mad Kane’s Humor Blog giving a good real life example for discussion.
Many of us use Smartphones, laptops and other “with-a-screen” gadgets to read e-books. Probably it is not so comfortable as a specially designed e-reader, but looks like a matter of habit. We wrote about it in several articles on Digital Book Readers. Emily Moser presents Choosing a Smartphone, the Smart Way posted at Graphic Design Degrees, saying, “Smartphones are ruling the roost in the world of mobile phones, and you understand why this is so only if you own one of these nifty gizmos yourself.”
Rose King presents 10 Coolest Bookstores in the U.S. posted at Online Classes.org. We hope Rose will write about coolest e-Bookstores soon. Though the best ebook readers (PRS, Kindle, etc.) give access to their own electronic libraries when you buy the device.
Several short posts in the end of this edition.
Adam Pittaway presents a funny note Barnes & Noble’s eReader Will Run Android posted at ngariman’s tidbits with original picture of Android coming out of some gadget.
Amitha Knight presents Monkey Poop – The new WikiReader: umm…why? and New E-reader from Spring Design posted at Monkey Poop.

Fantastic site, I really like your writing style. Very distinctive and concise. On a lot of blogs people just drone on and on, but not you – very nice. Keep up the fine work! I really get a lot out of reading sites about the OpenMoko technology! Yours is outstanding. I don’t have time to read it all right now, I found this site when looking for something else on arstechnica.com, but I’ve bookmarked your homepage and will check back soon to see the latest posts. Thanks for having it. Please visit my site at OKMKO[dot]com and let me know what you think.
