The Kindle Paperwhite is going to start shipping this upcoming week, and a bunch of reviews from major tech websites will likely start flooding the net all at once on Monday.

It Doesn’t Look Like the Sony PRS-T2 Will Get Hacked Anytime Soon
One of the reasons the Sony PRS-T1 was so popular was the fact that the underlying Android operating system could be hacked to run Android applications to bring a number of additional features to the Reader.

As a result, the new Kindles are getting a lot more coverage. Kobo is often overshadowed […]
