CJ took a trip to Barnes & Noble recently.  Though we’re both Kindle lovers, there’s some things that she likes to have in physical form. While she was there, she began looking around for anything about the nook.  It’s certainly too early to get a hands on with an actual nook,...

I only recently started using the My Clippings feature on the Kindle (amazing, since I’ve owned it for over a year!), and it’s very helpful. I’ve been saving some articles from Newsweek and Business Week for a class project in grad school, but I was concerned that if I deleted the issues to make...
