One of the key reasons why Amazon's Kindle e-readers are so popular are because of the vast ecosystem available to readers. The Kindle Store offers over 30,000 free titles, and books in Kindle format also tend to be much cheaper than their paperback or...

If one of the many New Year's resolutions you broke this year was to read more (no, Twitter feeds don't count), it's never too late to make amends. The new Kindle (2014 edition) makes yet another case to switch from paperback to ebook with a price point...
