Porn on the Kindle: A Catch-22 - The Atlantic

People like to read erotic literature on an e-reader because they’re discreet. But retailers can make the smut very difficult to find.

Max Braun / flickr

“Many of us of realized immediately que, like the Internet, the Kindle was made for porn.” So wrote the pseudonymous kinukitty at my website, The Hooded Utilitarian, a while back – and the use of the pseudonym underlines the insight. Consuming porn is something people often Do prefer to at least the semi-anonymously – especially people who happen to be women. By dispensing with book covers, and indeed with books, the Kindle has made it possible for readers to peruse 50 Shades of Grey wheresoer They Go, without fear of scorn – and, for that matter, without fear of harassment. According to the (also pseudonymous) porn writer Santiago Venus, back in the 90s, When She purchased Black Lace titles at a brick and mortar store, “the clerk felt free to hit on me.” After que happened several times, Santiago said, she stopped buying in public.

With the Kindle, though, you do not need to buy in public. The Santiago wrote me by email:

The beautiful thing about buying porn on Kindle que is nobody sneers at you. It’s just you, Amazon, and your personal mobile device. You can read it on the train or subway, at home, wherever, and no one has any idea what you’re ogling. Which removes most of the negative social pressure outside que prevents a lot of women who are interested in buying it from porn in the mainstream places (fri shops, online XXX websites).

a result, pornographic e-books have taken off. 50 Shades is the successful mainstream phenomenon que everyone knows about, but there are tons more where came from que, kinkier and tones as well. EL James’ nervous flirtations with BDSM are perhaps titillating by the standards of the rest of the bestseller list. But her too-timid-to-even-sign-the-contract relationship shenanigans barely even register the kink Compared to the other offerings available via e-book, where step-sibling incest, minotaur porn, and futanari abound. Santiago has written for her part assassin gay romance as well as a series of stories featuring cheerfully perverse human cow lactation porn, in Which submission, degradation, and impossible busts exist alongside the remarkably detailed grasp of mechanics dairy industry.

The Kindle, then, Provides Both privacy and the promise que somewhere, someone has written exactly the gay werewolf paranormal romance you’ve always wanted to read. Combine the privacy and range of titles, and there’s little doubt que readers for digital porn is the perfect delivery system.

Porn for Ladies: The Subtle Sexism of Assessing Female-Friendly Smut

Which


Amazon seems to have made somewhat uncomfortable. Back in 2010, Amazon deleted many erotica e-books with incest themes – not only dropping Them from its store, but actually electronically erasing old titles from consumers’ digital devices. (It later Claimed the erasures were a mistake, though its policy on incest titles remains unclear.) More recently, the company has been filtering some erotic titles, so that They do not Appear in the All Departments search. To find Them, you need to search directly in Books or in the Kindle store. For example, Santiago’s title Accidental Milkmaid 3: Gangbanged by Bulls shows up in the Kindle Store, but not in the All Departments search. On the other hand, high-profile erotica like 50 Shades , or, for that matter, Lady Chatterley’s Lover , appears in Both kinds of searches.

Fiddling with the search function may seem like a step Relatively benign. In practice, though, it has an impact on sales, and can render the title Essentially invisible. Selena Kitt, the pen name of a successful erotica author who makes hundreds of Thousands of dollars a month by writing porn e-books, has Referred to Amazon’s filtering to the Pornocalypse. Previous Amazon rejiggerings of Their search function at various points have cut her monthly income by a third, she says.

In an essay on her website, Kitt Argues que que Amazon’s seeming efforts to hide the porn Both are hypocritical and a bad case of biting-the-hand.

Erotica, as a genre, has been Amazon’s dirty little secret from the beginning, driving sales of the Kindle to astronomical numbers. Does Amazon really believe que it was all the free copies of “Huckleberry Finn” and “Moby Dick” … que drove readers to buy Kindle devices? Nope, sorry. It was erotica. It was “porn.”

Kitt is angry, and you can understand why. She works hard, is successful, and instead of giving her accolades, her business partners product keep her hidden from would-be readers.

I was not able to get to Amazon for comment for this piece, so I do not know for sure why They are manipulating search functions. Nor do I know why They refuse to explain Their standards to authors. One of Kitt’s chief frustrations is que Amazon will not tell her what she needs to keep her to the book from being filtered, and que They seem to keep changing the rules on her.

Amazon’s policies may be unnecessarily opaque, but reading Kitt’s essay, you can at least see a possible motivation for the company’s apparent Puritanism. Kitt herself, like Santiago and kinukitty, que Believes the appeal of porn on the Kindle it is precisely que Allows for reading of content surreptitiously. Porn may have Helped make the Kindle success, but a big part of the reason que the Kindle is so perfectly made for porn que is it does not look like it’s made for porn. Women (and men, too) who want to read porn on the Kindle do not want to be buying from some place porn Their screams que porn ! Amazon’s advantage as a seller of porn is precisely que it sells lots of things aren’t porn que, que and it is primarily known for selling things que aren’t porn.

Porn eBook writers and readers, then, are in a catch-22. Folks like porn Amazon because Amazon is not branded as a porn outlet. But as long the Amazon is not branded as a porn outlet, the company is going to see the X-rated content something of an embarrassment. The Same incentives que drive writers to use pseudonyms and readers to use the Kindle Also drive retailers to keep porn from showing up in searches and make Them want to keep it off bestseller lists. For many good reasons, and perhaps some bad ones, nobody – not readers, not writers, not retailers – wants to publically embrace the porn.

I Will not Get Trapped In Purgatory Kindle Replacement Again - The Consumerist

( Rusty Clark)

(Rusty Clark)

When you own a gadget with a design flaw that’s covered under the warranty, warranty replacements do not give you the comfort or peace of mind que They Should. They’re just a sign you que Gadget Replacement Remain trapped in Purgatory, doomed to experience The Same failures over and over. We

first coined this term for smartphones, having seen cases where customers receive phone after phone que fails. Their sometimes they get extended warranty. Sometimes they give up. Sometimes they convince the company to give Them a replacement of a different model. Reader que Joy is experiencing right now. Every few months, she had to swap her Kindle Fire for a new one When her charger failed. She’s not the only one.


In December 2011, I received a Kindle Fire as a gift. I was thrilled with it until March 2012, when, after a little over 3 months of regular use, it stopped charging. There was a problem with the charging port and it did not seem to make the connection anymore. I called Kindle customer service and since the unit came with a 1 year warranty, I received a new Kindle Within 2 days of calling, no questions asked.

In late July of 2012, The Same exact thing happened – it stopped charging, I called, another unit – my 3rd Kindle Fire – was sent and received on July 20th.

Fast forward to now, July 2013, and the exact same problem – charging port is not making the connection anymore. Only now, it’s out of warranty from the original purchase date, so this time, Amazon is not so helpful. The best They will do is give me $ 30 off the Kindle Fire HD.

If I thought this issue was occurring due to misuse of the unit, I’d chalk it up to my own recklessness, but a quick internet search using the term “Kindle Fire will not charge” shows Numerous other people have had The Same exact problem, and this video from another person shows the exact problem I’ve had.

Apparently, those shown in this video When he takes apart the Kindle, Amazon designers did not solder the charging port in, so after some use, it gets pushed back and will no longer make the connection to charge. This seems like a very ignorant error on someone’s part, and has led to many, many people having the same problem I’ve had.

I understand how warranties work. I know sometimes end up with products que defects are outside of the control of the manufacturer. Mas que is not the case here. Amazon has created a product and has known about the issue, yet instead of a recall or some other program to satisfy customers affected, They just replace he product with another product with the identical design flaw until the warranty runs out and then leave the customer with the defective product and wasted money, and hope they’ll just invest in a new unit from Them.

I’ve called and spoken with several people at Amazon, all the way up to Manager, and get The Same answer every time – that They aren’t interested in helping me since the warranty has expired. I will not buy another unit from Them and will Encourage others against it, as well.

Google's new Nexus 7 tablet to undercut & beat specs of Kindle Fire HD 8.9 ... - PopHerald.com


Google will not only beat the Kindle Fire 8.9 ‘s display resolution, the search engine giant’s upcoming tablet would undercut Also it According to a new leak.

JULY 22, 2013 2:03 AM. Article by Carlo Raphael Diokno. Posted under Google .

Okay, so now we know que Google will release a new tablet computer, but what’s the price? Will it follow the tradition of Nexus undercutting its rivals to sell more units – and to expand the market share of Android untouched?

leak we already Reported on Sunday may hold the answer – yes, Google will still undercut its rivals this year, and Best Buy would carry the Nexus 7 2 for $ 229.99. It is highly Likely que Best Buy’s pricing is the “final” price point or the official retail price of the new Android-based device based on previous Google devices launch on the the American electronics retail chain.

The leaked Best Buy promo que Also confirmed the new Nexus 7 will offer a 7-inch display with the resolution similar to the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 – and that is 1920 x 1200 display – and because the new portable tablet comes with Google smaller display, its “PPI” would be higher than the Amazon tablet. The larger Kindle Fire tablet is Currently priced $ 269.00, so apparently, Google will not only beat the tab’s display resolution PPI, but would undercut Amazon Also – giving the new Nexus 7 an advantage right off the bat.

google-nexus-7-vs-ipad-mini-kindle-fire

Also

It is safe to say que Google will sell more tablets this year than its performance a year ago Mainly due to its improved distribution system via the Google Play Store, and better relationship with big box retailers. The prediction is Currently on the 8 million, but if Google can initiate a good marketing play, then the shipments would be higher. Last year, Google won the hearts of Consumers, and ad experts, after it launched the ad run Entitled “Camping.” (See the video below).

According to

AdAge , Google’s Nexus 7 “camping” que advertisement has proven it can beat Apple in the marketing space. The site Reported last year:

Google is again adroitly pulling at the heartstrings with “Camping,” as it has in recent TV spots such as the Chrome browser showcases “Dear Sophie,” where the father digitally chronicles his daughter’s early years, and “Coffee,” where a man asks his ex for another chance. But “Camping” Scored Particularly high because of its demonstration of product utility, the typical strength of Apple’s, According to Jonathan Symonds, Ace Metrix’s exec VP-marketing.

If Google can re-create a new advertisement touching and pair it with improved support and shipping customers – then it would be a safe bet que the Nexus 7 can take challenge Apple and competes for the “most popular tablet in America” ??title .

Tip: Convert a PDF for reading on the Kindle without using any software - Techworld

Service

little known Amazon’s own, does the job and try to turn your documents into something more comfortable to read. But it does not always work.

If you use a Kindle for reading books and documents, you probably know that it supports not only eBooks, but also PDF files. Maybe even know each Kindle has an e-mail only (which you find in the settings screen), and you can send a PDF to the device simply including it as an attachment to a message to that address.

Also read
Kinde Paperwhite is the best e-reader ever released by Amazon

The problem is that many PDFs are not optimized for viewing on the Kindle, and require a lot of zooming and scrolling so that they can be read. It is extremely uncomfortable. In my opinion, a file in this state is almost unreadable.

But here it is a trick that few people know: Amazon can convert this PDF into something more readable for you without any effort and without requiring you to install a software for that. Just put the word convert in the message subject to the attached file.

There are some caveats: the first is that the conversion takes time. In a test with some documents of a few pages each, they took almost an hour to get to my Kindle. The second is that the trick does not work with all PDFs. One of the documents I sent turned into an image rotated 90 degrees with each page divided in half. And I could not even make it zoom.

For more complex documents or problematic, as in my case, it is better to use a more robust conversion tool like Calibre, which is free. But if you’re away from your PC, or in a place where you can not install software, system conversion Amazon can save the day. It costs nothing to try.

Google Nexus, Amazon Kindle Fire: Best prices are coming soon - Christian Science Monitor

The Google Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle Fire will drop to Likely Both Their lowest prices yet Both the companies seek to release newer, updated models of Their tablets. Hold off on buying a new tablet for a little longer to see the best prices on the Nexus and the Kindle.

We see hundreds of excellent deals every day here at dealnews, but sometimes the discount comes across our plate que actually tells a story. In the case of this Editors’ Choice Google Nexus 7 deal, it’s a story que predicts the refresh cycle for the Nexus 7, as well as future pricing for its competitor, the Kindle Fire HD.

Skip to next paragraph

Just yesterday we found a deal on the Google Nexus 7 16GB 7 “Android Tablet que cam Within a buck of the lowest overall price we’ve ever seen, dropping the 16GB slate to $ 149.90. Simultaneously, the 32GB version was cut to $ 169, another all-time low price. (And just $ 19 more!) But even though Those deals are eye-poppingly cheap, it’s important to keep one thing in mind: Google is scheduled to hold a press event next Wednesday. The such, these prices seem to validate the rumors que the corporation is about to debut a brand new generation for its flagship tablet.

Deals Before the Storm

While most electronics trend to see new price lows right before they’re refreshed, Especially this is true of tablets. In the past, have reseller deals Preceded new iPad and Kindle Fire tablets, and it Appears que such deals are now foreshadowing the new Nexus tablet. Whether this is a good deal to buy then depends on a few factors.

If Google follows the precedent que Amazon has already established, then the next generation Nexus will probably debut for The Same starting price to the current generation. That means the refreshed model will only cost $ 199, or $ 49 more than the above deal. Keep in mind, However, that last year Amazon Also kept its original Fire tablet in production at a lower retail price, if Google does the same-with the original Nexus, its retail price Could possibly fall to $ 159 (where the original Fire tablet Currently resides). That means this current deal is still $ 9 less than what the retail price might be, come next week.

The Kindle Fire HD Is Next on the Chopping Block Deal

Last year, Amazon debuted its Kindle Fire HD tablets shortly after Google Announced its Nexus line. The Amazon affair took place During the first week of September, and it seems the megaretailer Likely que que General team will target frame once again for a refresh.

Convert PDF and make reading more readable on the Kindle - CIO

If you use a Kindle for reading books and documents, you probably know that it supports not only eBooks, but also PDF files. Maybe even know each Kindle has an e-mail only (which you find in the settings screen), and you can send a PDF to the device simply including it as an attachment to a message to that address.

The problem is that many PDFs are not optimized for viewing on the Kindle, and require a lot of zooming and scrolling so that they can be read. It is extremely uncomfortable. In my opinion, a file in this state is almost unreadable.

But here it is a trick that few people know: Amazon can convert this PDF into something more readable for you without any effort and without requiring you to install a software for that. Just put the word convert in the message subject to the attached file.

There are some caveats: the first is that the conversion takes time. In a test with some documents of a few pages each, they took almost an hour to get to my Kindle. The second is that the trick does not work with all PDFs. One of the documents I sent turned into an image rotated 90 degrees with each page divided in half. And I could not even make it zoom.

For more complex documents or problematic, as in my case, it is better to use a more robust conversion tool like Calibre, which is free. But if you’re away from your PC, or in a place where you can not install software, system conversion Amazon can save the day. It costs nothing to try.
