Amazon Upgrades Kindle

Amazon’s Kindle is getting a longer battery life, and even better, PDF support! Today, Amazon released a firmware update to the Kindle that gives users the abiolity to read PDF documents, and it significantly extends the battery life!

This brings the Kindle features up to par, since both the Sony Readers and Barnes & Noble’s nook already offer PDF support for their readers. This upgrade will reduce the hassle of reading PDF documents, even though you will still need to download them throuh your USB connection.

This affects only the Kindle, as the larger Kindle DX already features the PDF reader. Besides adding a PDF reader, the Kindle firmware update also extends the battery life of the device to approximately one week from the previous four days (with wireless capability switched on). With the wireless switched off, your Kindle can go up to two weeks without a charge.

eReader Sales are Hot!

The Sony Corp. in August had announced that its new eReader— the Daily Edition will hit the store shelves during the holiday season. Unfortunately, that may not be the case, after all.

Since Sony announced that it’s new “Daily Edition” eReader would hit stores during the holiday season, demand has exploded and Sony isn’t sure it can keep up with it’s pre-orders. Now, according to the reports, Sony said that it’s much awaited eReader—Daily Edition might not be available in December, after all.

It won’t be shipped until between December 18th through January 8, according to sources at Sony. And these dates are still not confirmed, and may still change…much to the disappointment of eager readers hoping to grab one during the holiday season.
