Kobo turns 2
Happy Birthday Kobo!
$199.99Kobo Vox
They've had one heck of a ride already! From getting their humble start with Borders that was trying some last minute digital shot before going bankrupt; and to then emerge unscathed by the madness only to turn into a powerful force in it's own right. Kobo then released it's own ereader and sharpened up it's image to compete with the big dogs and form the last company in "The Big 5" (Kindle, iPad, Nook, Sony Reader & KOBO) Sure market share is still single digit, but they've got a brand new ereader called the Kobo Vox that allows access to the internet, email, music and video and with an android operating system, you can download 15,000 and growing apps. Then the strangest thing happened. The Japanese firm Rakuten came outta nowhere and bought them for $350 Million dollars and left the entire management team intact.
Go Kobo! It's your Birthday! Go Kobo! Go Kobo!
So Happy Birthday! We've enjoyed the ride! Kobo lists around 20 of our books and we are proud to work with them.

Huge sales for Amazon Tablet ~ Kindle Fire
Consumers swiped up FOUR times as many on this Black Friday over last. Consumers bought one for themselves, one for a friend and one for a family member, typically. With prices ranging from $79 on the old fashion Kindle models with 16 shades of gray to affordability of a tablet device at $199 for the Kindle Fire and the Nook Tablet selling for $249 it was a consumer frenzy out there. Many big box electronic stores (Best Buy, Staples) are carrying them. Of course you could still buy the Kindle DX for $379 which has the largest screen, but still has 16 different shades of gray. The screen is sized at a totally readable 9.7", just to put it in context the new Kindle Fire screen size is 7"
