“Various people have discovered that Kindle Cloud Reader is a straight HTML5 app and that the server sends it unencrypted content a chapter at a time. It would be fairly easy to build a program that captures the HTML and stores it locally. This would be roughly equivalent to “stream capture” for audio and video, except that the result would be a perfect browser-renderable copy of the e-book.” — Amazon Lowers the Speed Bump with Kindle Cloud Reader « Copyright and Technology

“Albert Greco, a market researcher who studies the book industry, says his projections show sales of physical consumer titles will drop to $13.9 billion in 2015 from $18 billion in 2008, excluding book clubs, book fairs and books ordered by mail from catalogs. By comparison, e-book sales are expected to rise to $3.6 billion in 2015 from $78 million in 2008, the year e-books started to take off due to the popularity of Amazon’s Kindle e-reader.”

“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” —

I especially enjoy the new version of try… catch blocks:
would_you_mind {
// Code here
} actually_i_do_mind (Exception £e) {
// Politely move on
cheerio('Message');
}Vastly more polite and upbeat indeed.
