We are happy to announce the addition of The Lily to our collections.
This first newspaper for women was issued from 1849 until 1853. The Lily maintained a strong focus on temperance and often published many horror stories about the effects of alcohol. The circulation of The Lily quickly rose to 4,000 per month because of the women's dress reform controversy that enveloped its editor, Amelia Bloomer. Learn More at accessible-archives.com.

Amazon Fires Up the Tablet and Ebook Markets
by Paula J. Hane
Amazon is turning up the heat—again—in the competition for the tablet and ebook reader markets. At a press conference in Santa Monica, Calif. on Sept. 6, 2012, with several hundred media folks in attendance, Amazon.com founder and CEO Jeff Bezos gave 90-minute presentation about its latest Kindle products that are aimed directly at challenging Apple's iPad and, indeed, all other tablets and e-readers. The company introduced some impressive new technologies and features for its Kindle line and has definitely pushed pricing to a new low. More importantly, Bezos made it clear that the company plans to derive its revenue from the sale of content that the devices drive. "We make money when people use our devices, not when they buy our devices." The gauntlet is down.

Apple-Samsung Case Highlights America’s Troubled Patent System
by Paula J. Hane
It's clear that Apple scored a major victory over Samsung in its recent and highly publicized patent dispute. A jury found that a number of Samsung's mobile devices infringed on Apple's patented designs and awarded damages of $1.05 billion to Apple. The jury also found that Apple had not violated any of the five patents Samsung asserted in the case. Apple then requested a ban on the sale of eight models of Samsung smartphones. Both companies are considering their next steps, while the media and blogosphere continue to buzz with reactions.
