On eReadersLibrary.com. All the eBooks you can consume for just one price?

eReadersLibrary promises all you consume eBooks, newspaper and comics for an unlimited access for life with just one payment of 49 USD.

It sounds too good to be true. I tried to find out who owns the domain. All I got was that the registration was done in LA, with the rest of the information protected by WhoisGuard (something to hide?). When I tried to join, the registration page was in Chinese (probably due to the fact that I am accessing it from Singapore).

Putting it all together:


1. The eBooks are probably real (bootlegged).
2. The eBooks are definitely not legal (all the eBooks you can download for only 49 USD?)
3. The owners of the site is probably from China.

That said, it might be a 'steal' to join eReadersLibrary and just download as many eBooks as you like until someone shuts this site down for good.

Google Currents to take on Flipboard and Zite

The war of the news reader has started. First it's both Flipboard and Zite bringing their iPad news reader to iPhone. Now we have Google Current for both android and iOS.
I feel it is not as polished as the other two, although it does support offline reading. Personally, I think with all connectivity available now, offline reading is less compelling. Unless you are reading a book.
