Reality Check: How e-readers can fight to stay alive
This summer we're launching TechHive, where we'll cover the most important tech with an eye toward helping people find their sweet spots. PCWorld is still going strong, but TechHive will cater to people who make electronics an active part of their lives--regardless of platform. As we work out the kinks, we've launched the Beta Blog. This week I'm introducing you to our new venture with PCWorld tablet expert Melissa Perenson's look at current e-reader offerings and predictions for the future. - Kim Saccio-Kent, PCWorld
