Rave reviews of our Kindle products

Our customers have been saying great things about our ActiveBook puzzle collections. For example:
For the first time, I've got a book that's far superior on a Kindle than it would ever be in "real life".... I think I've finally found my "killer app".
 
This makes solving the puzzles feel completely natural, just like using a pencil in a game magazine (except you'll never lose your pencil).
 
[This] is obviously designed by people who are serious about their puzzles and know what is going to feel good for people who will be using the interface obsessively, as puzzle solvers like to do.
 
They've tried to capture the simplicity of pencil-solving, while adding value with features only an interactive program could offer. [This] is a delightful puzzling experience at a price level that shows why e-books are a welcome innovation.
 
This book demonstrates the potential of the Kindle to be much more than just an e-book reader.

Results from the
American Crossword Puzzle Tournament
Remember the movie Wordplay? Well, the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament is an annual event, which happens even when there aren't movie cameras recording everything. At this year's tournament in Brooklyn, Dan Feyer won for the second year in row. No cliffhanger here. Dan won by three minutes. Here's a collection of blog posts that will give you a feel for what it's like to be there (note: some posts have spoilers for those solving at home).
