SEATTLE--The extraordinary national best seller "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch and Jeffrey Zaslow has become so popular that it is sold out everywhere, but not for owners of Amazon Kindle (NASDAQ:AMZN), a revolutionary portable reader. Kindle owners can get "The Last Lecture" downloaded wirelessly onto their Kindle and be reading this inspirational book in less than 60 seconds. Furthermore, "The Last Lecture" is only $9.99 on Kindle compared to its print list price of $21.95. "One of the advantages for readers is that Kindle titles never go out of stock," said Steve Kessel, Senior Vice President, World Wide Digital Media at Amazon.com. "That's good for readers, and it's good for publishers too." "The Last Lecture" is based on what was in fact, Randy Pausch's last lecture as a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University.

Amazon.com, the world's largest Internet retailer, apologized to buyers for having to wait as long as six weeks to receive the Kindle electronic reading device after the company ran out. Amazon.com sold out of Kindles in 5 1/2 hours after they went on sale in November and has been trying to increase manufacturing capacity, Chief Executive Jeff Bezos wrote Thursday in a letter on the company's Web site. "We hope to be able to announce to you within the next few weeks that we're back in stock," Bezos wrote. The portable device sells for $399 and is about the size of a paperback. Kindle is able to download books, magazines and newspapers to a display screen in less than a minute. More than 100,000 books are available electronically, according to the Web site.

Have you ever seen a Rubin vase? A "Rubin vase" isn't actually a vase; it's an optical illusion. Perhaps you've seen it; it's an image that can be interpreted either as a vase or as two faces in profile. As Danish psychologist Edgar Rubin discovered in the early twentieth century, what you see in the "Rubin vase" depends on how you look at it. For the publishing industry, Amazon's new handheld reading device, the Kindle, can be interpreted much like Rubin's vase/face illusion; it all depends on how you look at it. From one perspective, publishers can view the Kindle as a threat, a ten- ounce battery-powered harbinger of doom for the printed word. However, viewed from another perspective, the publishing paradigm associated with Amazon's Kindle might suggest a solution to the Internet-induced financial woes of many magazines and newspapers.

buzzardsbay writes "For the past few years, we've heard a number of analysts and high-profile IT industry executives, Bill Gates and Craig Barrett among them, promoting the idea that there's an ever-present shortage of skilled IT workers to fill the industry's demand. But now there's growing evidence suggesting the "shortage" is simply a self-serving myth. "It seems like every three years you've got one group or another saying, the world is going to come to an end there is going to be a shortage and so on," says Vivek Wadhwa, a professor for Duke University's Master of Engineering Management Program and a former technology CEO himself. "This whole concept of shortages is bogus, it shows a lack of understanding of the labor pool in the USA.""

Bezos Expeditions, the personal investment arm of billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, has invested $3 million in Kongregate, a 2-year-old social gaming site that taps into the "indie gaming" phenomenon. Kongregate co-founder and CEO Jeff Greer said Wednesday the investment will be used to develop display advertising for the free Web site that now offers more than 4,000 games from more than 1,600 independent developers around the world. San Francisco-based Kongregate competes with other gaming sites such as Miniclip and AddictingGames. Unlike rivals that typically pay licensing fees to developers, Greer said, it is developing a revenue-sharing plan to allow the developers of the most popular games greater compensation.
