I like TechCrunch. Their articles are accurate, timely, and relevant. They are also simply blurbs with a link (or many) to their source. While that's awesome for a web-based platform, following those links on the Kindle is an exercise in pain.

If you're looking for a tech blog to read on the Kindle, try Ars Technica. They cover a lot of the same topics as TechCrunch (and their articles are often linked to by TC), but the articles are self-contained and complete even without following the links sprinkled throughout.

TC does tend to be more timely than Ars, but Ars is the better Kindle read.

Ok, there is also news about high tech educated imigrants making more money than US citizens and why. Always a lot of iPhone and iPad stuff, after all they are the biggest gadgets out there today. If you love to keep up with the tech world, this is a good blog. If your looking for the Wall Street Journal of tech, this ain't it.

The blog is updated daily, it's fresh and informative and worth the small price.

I've tried out a couple different tech blogs on the Kindle these past few days, and this one definitely leads the pack. Not many typos and semi-regular updates (and by that I mean actual new articles each day). Seems far better than Gizmodo at least...

For reading on a Kindle is great, but reading TechCrunch on a Kindle is more and more terrible. Reasons:
1, When reading a blog post, you will sometime read the "read more..." link, forcing you to open the web browser to read the next part, which will make you crazy for opening browser on Kindle and opening a webpage is painfully slow.
2, Recently I found to clip an article of TechCrunch is disabled, for every time I clip an article, I'm prompted that reaching the clip limit. Sigh

As I pay $1.99/mon for reading the blog while the web readers pay nothing, I could not do the same things as the others. While Tech world always talk about openness, TEchCrunch set so many limitation for their Kindle fans.

Maybe I should give up reading TechCrunch on Kindle. Very bad experience.

I love reading TechCrunch. Anyone in the technology field that wants to keep current and up on today's news and scoops will benefit from this quick source of information. Keeps you 'in the know' on today's tech news. It isn't for enterprise technology. It presents big trends info, industry gossip, what's next, and who is doing something cool and innovative.

I have tried most of the Tech Blogs and I still find this one the best. They always have the most current issues and I like how it is presented.

Blog contains articles on various topics relating to internet technology with focus on social networking sites. Blogs included product releases, industry news and website recommendations during the two week trial. Decided to not renew this subscription since I seek articles on corporate IT issues.

Not what I expected, This Way too serious, very bussiness orientated, (aka...for me ...Boring) I like Gizmodo better, Gizmodo has got good info on alot of personal tech news.

Now if only I can find the time to read books after my blogs :)
