Amazon's New Option: On-Reserve Servers
,----[ Quote ]
| Amazon is presenting the new option, called Reserved Instances, as an
| alternative to buying your own on-premises servers. The up-front fees range
| from $325 per year for a standard Linux server to $2,600 per year for
| an "extra large" Linux server, with significant discounts for 3-year
| commitments. Note that Windows servers aren't offered as Reserved Instances
| at this point.

Mobipocket books on Kindle
,----[ Quote ]
| We've known for some time already that Amazon's AZW files are actually Mobi
| files, but Amazon didn't share Kindle's Mobi PID which would allow one to buy
| encrypted Mobi books for Kindle.
| Well, I've discovered the algorithm used to generate the PID and was able to
| use it on Fictionwise, but there was another catch. AZW files have a flag set
| in the DRM info which is not present in books bought from other vendors.
| After fixing that, I could read the book on Kindle.

Don't let DRM get between you and a good book
,----[ Quote ]
| Amazon Kindle (Swindle), Sony Reader (Sh-reader), and others are all
| competing to control how, what, and when we can read with their competing
| Digital Restrictions Management technologies. Let's let them know that we
| won't buy their ebook readers until they get rid of the DRM!

The Kindle Swindle
,----[ Quote ]
| It seems that Amazon only cares to oppose DRM when they can profit from it,
| such as when they advertise their MP3's as "Play Anywhere, DRM-Free
| Downloads." The same is not true for Kindle ebooks. Perhaps if they were
| honest they would advertise their ebooks as "Play Only Here, DRM-Laden Kindle
| Ebooks."
