E-Reader-Info News

E-Reader-Info was launched in July 2009 to follow the e-reader industry and provide information and resources to e-reader professionals and consumers. While I still believe in e-readers (I think that Amazon's Kindle is the only electronics gadgets I truly value), I simply do not have time to continue developing this site, and I have sadly decided to offer it up for sale, for an asking price of $1,500.

If anyone is interested in taking over e-reader-info, please contact me here. I think this web site has great potential if someone is willing to invest the required energy and time. E-reader-info has over 1,000 pages (posts, image pages, e-reader listing, etc.) and is very valuable in terms of SEO as it's a trusted source since 2009.

Here's for an awesome 2013. May you all enjoy the holidays!

E Ink displays can actually retain an image for years without power. Back in 2011 E Ink sent me a nice photo frame with an E Ink display showing a photo - and one year later and the image still hasn't changed at all. There's no battery or power source there. Now our sister site E-Ink-Info is running a cool contest - offering two e-readers to those who come up with the best application ideas for this feature.

Besides making some nice B&W photo frames - what cool things can be done with a display that can stay persistent for such long times without a power source? For example gadgets that only need to change the display once a day. Just hop over to E-Ink-Info and post a comment with your idea and e-mail address (or send us the e-mail address in private). We'll choose the two best ideas, and award them with new e-readers (either a Kindle paperwhite or a Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight). This content is open for everyone. E Ink, who were kind enough to give away the two e-readers, will ship them worldwide. We'll choose the new winners on December 11th.

We're happy to announce that our Kindle Nonograms game now supports the new Kindle Paperwhite e-reader.  Nonograms (also known as Griddlers or Paint By Numbers) are simple yet challenging Japanese logic puzzle games in which your goal is to uncover the hidden black and white picture. Download this exciting game now for $1.99! If you like SuDoKu puzzles, you'll surely love Nonograms...
