Which means, when you look at your phone, you&#8217;re looking at a bunch of apps. Facebook&#8217;s Mark Zuckerberg, in announcing Facebook Home, wants to change that. &#8220;Our phones are designed around apps and not people,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So we want to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=allanhoffman.com&#038;blog=14945584&#038;post=1256&#038;subd=allanhoffmanonline&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

And that’s both thrilling and scary. Thrilling because of the prospects for indie authors. Scary because I really wonder about the prospect of a ridiculous glut of unedited, junky ebooks.

I knew they were just 1.7 by 1.5 inches, but until they arrived, I didn&#8217;t realize how small that would be. One very cool thing about them: They&#8217;ve got magnets inside. Yes, that&#8217;s right: You can put your book on the fridge.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=allanhoffman.com&#038;blog=14945584&#038;post=1206&#038;subd=allanhoffmanonline&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
