With the proliferation of ebook readers and ebook stores, picking the right one can be confusing. So I’ve put together a chart that gives the key features of each e-book store and its associated reader: Amazon Kindle, Barnes &Noble’s Nook and Nook Color, Apple’s iBook store on iPad and iPhone, and the Google eBookstore and its associated reader apps.
Now that winter has made its presence brutally known here in the northeastern US, I’ve run up against a bit of a problem—how to use my iPhone while braving the elements, without exposing my hands to the windchill. It’s a bigger problem than just iPhones: many touchscreen devices (like automated teller machines) depend on the electric touch of bare fingers to work.
Last year, I used fingerless gloves—or gloves whose fingers folded back. But those aren’t exactly what one would call fashion-forward, unless your name is Bob Cratchit.
