An eBook Reader Designed Specifically for Use in the Kitchen

Over the weekend we posted a link to a massive chart with facts and figures about numerous eBook readers. It has the potential to be a resource you'll be using a lot.

Today, the Austin Business Journal is running an article about the "Demy," an eBook reader designed for use in the kitchen. Amazingly, it's an eBook reader that's not listed on the chart.

From the Article:

A 4-year-old Austin company is expecting the rising interest in electronic books to boost the sales of kitchen-based electronic recipe readers that were launched last year.

Key Ingredient Corp. is planning to quintuple the number of Demy e-reader devices it sells during the upcoming holiday season.

Just as Apple’s iPod supports the content sold on iTunes, the Demy supports Key Ingredient’s Web site.

The Demy, which sells for $299, was designed differently from conventional e-readers because it needs to be more durable for the kitchen, [CEO David] Goodman said. As a result, it operates without buttons and stands on a countertop, enabling the user to flip the screen vertically or horizontally.

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.
