Kindle Report is Now eBook Daily

After the controversy I mentioned earlier, I decided to rebrand The Kindle Report as eBook Daily. It will still have a big focus on the Amazon Kindle, but I will also cover other eBook news. No eBook-related content is off limits.

This will also allow me to provide links to related content on Amazon.com. In the near-term I will be looking for other eBook-related sites to integrate into eBook Daily, since half of the Kindle sites I combined resources from are gone. And I still have a bunch of original articles to write-up and post. And I will finally get around to updating the Real Owner Ratings database again.
