Amazon Fire TV

 On April 2nd 2014 Amazon released the Amazon Fire TV, a video streaming device that not only streams your favorite services like Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and Amazon prime Instant Video (just to name a few) straight to your TV, but will be a gaming console in the mix as well. This device was released in hopes of taking on the Apple TV, Google’s Chromecast, and the Roku, which although this is a wide market because  there are many other video streaming devices much like the Western Digital Video Streamer.

Self Publish A Book

I get asked the question a lot, "How do you self publish, and is self publishing a hard thing to do?" It's actually quite simple once you begin the process. I also get asked if you make a lot of money from books when you self publish. To answer that, I haven't personally, but it depends upon how you market your book. It all depends upon the effrot you are willing to put into getting the word about your book out there.

Amazon Kindle Fire vs. Apple iPad 2

There has been much controversy over the new tablet by Amazon that averages at just around $200. Many love it, many hate it, but how does it compare to the Apple iPad 2? There is of course the obvious price difference of $300, but is buying Apple worth the extra money? I believe that Amazon has produced a very promising tablet that the average consumer should have no problem spending money on. More details in the below video.

Amazon Kindle Fire Released: My Take

After tons of rumors, Amazon finally met our expectations and announced their Amazon Kindle Fire, a 7" Android based tablet. Despite my love for Apple, I'm very seriously considering picking up one of these. Why? And will this be the iPad killer? Watch for my opinion!



Ultimately, I don't think Amazon's Fire is trying to compete with the iPad. With a $199 price tag, the Fire is intended to be a media consuming device. That is the reason I'm interested in it! Since the tablet market emerged, I have wanted something small, cheap and simple to read books, browse websites and watch streaming content on. The only thing that turns me off a bit is your need to be an Amazon Prime member, which requires a yearly fee. What do YOU think of the Fire?
