- Does God read Facebook? Religion and business on social networks may not mix

- Sorry Kindle owners, the new firmware still doesn't support local public libraries
- Library DRM'ed contentThat is one of the few circumstances where DRM actually makes sense, legally as well as traditionally/historically.
