Got a desire for the sold out Amazon Kindle? If you do your probably out of luck on actually getting one anytime soon. The next best thing might actually be an Eee PC in “Kindle” mode. By using FBReader in fullscreen and portrait mode, an Eeeph forum member turned his Eee into a Kindle imitator. Since FBReader is a free e-book reader for Unix and Windows computers this little Kindle tweak shouldn’t be too hard to get you a multi-function e-reader out the popular Eee PC. [Eeeph via EeeUser]

Polaroid is closing its last remaining film plants in Mass. so the oh so fun instant Polaroids will soon become a thing of the past. Well it’s already a thing of the past, but this time it’s serious since no more instant film will be produced. Over the past two years Polaroid has stopped production on the instant cameras and now it’s the film, which will be available till around next year. It was only a matter of time till Polaroid killed off the film since it was obviously a declining / nonexistent profit. So for all those Polaroid users out there, were sorry, looks like you’ll only have another year left to take random pictures at house parties. [Washington Post]
