Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble engaged in a rapid-fire price war June 21, with both companies announcing substantial reductions for their original e-readers. In addition, Barnes & Noble also announced a WiFi-only version of its Nook for $149. The price cuts suggest that the competition in the e-reader space, already heated thanks to the increasing popularity of the devices and the introduction of the Apple iPad, may be heating up even further. As Amazon and Barnes & Noble cut prices and improve their devices’ features in order to gain more users, smaller e-reader competitors could find themselves squeezed out of the market. – The e-reader wars are heating up.

HOT HOT HEAT PREVIEW NEW ALBUM DURING MAY RESIDENCY AT BROOKLYN’S PUBLIC ASSEMBLY
FUTURE BREEDS OUT JUNE 8 ON DANGERBIRD RECORDS
| Hot Hot Heat |
Hot Hot Heat‘s new album, Future Breeds (Dangerbird Records), hits stores on June 8, but fans in New York can get an early taste when the band begins its May residency at Brooklyn’s Public Assembly. The band
opted to do the shows at the venue because of its intimate setting and its close ties to Brooklyn’s thriving indie
music scene – a connection that the band feels to be particularly relevant with their forthcoming album. Future
Breeds is filled with the addictive, candy-coated melodies that Hot Hot Heat are famous for, but it also includes
some of the band’s most experimental moments yet. Charged with sonic detail, the collection of songs is packed
with unconventional rhythms and quirky arrangements. From the dark, carnival-esque feel of “Times a Thousand” to
the frenzy of “What is Rational,” Future Breeds balances danceable, pop melodies with an unfettered and
musically adventurous spirit.

Programs that help businesses cut greenhouse gases are proliferating
LIFE is looking up for managers at the 4,300 stores of Tesco, one of the world’s biggest supermarket chains. A program from CA, a big software firm, will make a tedious job much easier: gathering data about each store’s energy consumption, be it from lights, air conditioning or refrigeration. The streamlined data collection is part of Tesco’s ambitious plan to halve emissions of greenhouse gases from existing stores and distribution centres by 2020.
Tesco and CA may be pioneers, but they are not alone. While governments argue over emissions cuts, many firms have already started cleaning up their act, or at least preparing to do so—prompting more and more software firms to offer tools to help. If optimists are right, the market for “carbon-management software” could one day become at least as big as those for other important business applications such as customer-relationship-management (CRM) programs, which brought in revenues of more than $9 billion last year. …
