"Ace of Penguins" games ported to iLiad eBook reader
What's an iLiad owner to do when they just don't feel like reading eBook content? Play some games! Over at MobileRead, a forum member ported the "Ace of Penguins" game pack over to the standalone reading device and they don't look half bad. The game list includes Freecell, Golf, Mastermind, Merlin, Minesweeper, Pegged, Solitaire, Taipei, and Thornq. While none of the titles on the iLiad will cause you to drop your PSP or DS, there's always time for Solitaire, no?
On a related note, I've had James's Kindle on loan for a few weeks. I'm slowly getting used to the page refresh of eInk but definitely see room for improvement on the user experience of the device. Why not some preferences to turn off one of the two "Next Page" buttons, for example? Making them user configurable shouldn't be too difficult and would easily go a long way in preventing accidental page turns.
