... , the biggest threat to the Kindle’s current dominance may be … Apple’s iPhone . According to San Francisco-based Flurry, which monitors mobile applications, the Games category of the App Store drew the most new content each month from the store’s launch in mid-2008 through August of this year enough that the iPhone was able to bite into the business of the leading handheld gaming platform, the Nintendo DS. But in September, for the first time, more books were released to the App Store than games, and in October, Flurry says, one out of every five apps introduced for the ...
Will Apple's rumored tablet kick-start e-readers?
TechBlog —
... the same kind of mass adoption that the iPhone has had, particularly now that there's a $99 variant. What will happen is that the tablet - again, if it ever becomes reality - has the potential to cause a serious disruption in the e-reader universe. And that's a good thing, because there's still a lot of innovation left to be done there before it becomes a part of our everyday lives. Apple's late entry to the party will surely shake things up. IF it happens, of course. [ Spotted on GigaOm .] Posted by Dwight at November 2, 2009 07:56 AM Share: Comments Post a comment ...
Why E-Books on Phones Can Succeed [jkOnTheRun]
GigaOM Network —
... Having said that, the ability to read a few pages, or even a few chapters, in a short chunk of free time at any location is priceless. And that’s why I believe we’re recently seeing more book-related apps than games launching in the iTunes App Store. There’s surely other reasons, but this one trumps the others from where I stand. Think about it this way — if you’re always carrying your phone and an unplanned short opportunity arises to read a book, you don’t want to whip out a computer, do you? In a situation ...

... (Nasdaq: AMZN) Kindle, Om Malik reports . Starting in September, launches of book-related iPhone apps surged, overtaking games as a percentage of all released apps. In fact, Malik says, in October, one out of every five iPhone apps launched were book-related. This mirrors growth of the games segment of iPhone apps, which from August 2008 to August 2009 led in terms of launches, turning the iPhone into a legitimate gaming platform and adversely affecting sales of the Nintento DS. So will the iPhone have similar consequences for the Amazon Kindle? According to Malik, ...

It seems that everyone has been creating some form of e-reader recently, but many consumers may already have one and not realize it.

iPhone Ebooks: The New Fart Apps [IPhone Apps]
Gizmodo —
A buzzy new report says that ebook iPhone apps are on the rise, and accounted for more new apps in October—nearly a fifth—than even games. It's unexpected and exciting, but what does it mean? Spam, is what. The data shows a clear rise in ebook apps over the last few months, such that they account for a staggering number of the new apps showing up in the store. It's true! Look at the chart! But here's the thing: this is purely a measure of how many new apps there are, not how well they're doing. But still, why such ...

GigaOM Network —
... Apple’s reluctant foray — don’t forget that for the longest time it said every service should be delivered via the web browser — into apps actually taps into the very emotional relationship we have with our devices. And that is why many people (if not all) don’t much care for being advertised to on this most personal of platforms. Apps have made an iPhone into an e-reader and a portable game machine. I predict that with the right apps it can also become a personal wellness device. ...
