# Amazon Acquires Popular iPhone E-Reader App Stanza - Host: [gigaom.com](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/hosts/gigaom.com/) - Saved: April 28, 2009 (2009-04-28T05:56:47Z) - Record: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/33d65b8f1c09/ - JSON: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/33d65b8f1c09.json ## From the page (probably an excerpt, not Jamie's words) A small but potentially mighty acquisition by Amazon (NSDQ: AMZN), which has picked up e-reader start-up Lexcycle and its popular iPhone application Stanza. No financial details were disclosed but Lexcycle founder Marc Prud'hommeaux tried to dispel the inevitable Kindle combo chatter by telling users in a forum that Stanza, one of the most downloaded iPhone apps, will continue to operate as a standalone. ## Facts - Kind: [Page](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/kinds/page/) ## Same host - [Star Tribune To Give Some 'Deeper' Stories To Print Subscribers Exclusively](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/6684f45575f0/) (gigaom.com, March 31, 2009) - [Say Hello To HelloTxt As Status Update Service Space Heats Up](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/66966c6b7bfb/) (gigaom.com, May 1, 2009) - [Researcher-Entrepreneur JV CircLabs To Offer Publishers New Ad-Targeting Service](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a357e23cdddd/) (gigaom.com, May 28, 2009) - [King of Pop Proves to be King of Traffic: MJ’s Online Memorial Pushes Internet’s Limits](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e4724995e3a9/) (gigaom.com, July 7, 2009) - [Why Diversification Results In Mediocrity](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9ecc5afda774/) (gigaom.com, July 12, 2009) ## Saved the same week - [Facebook to Accept OpenIDs on its Website](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a9594a3ff09b/) (janrain.com, April 28, 2009) - [More Usable URLs: Twitter.com](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7c9521f6e506/) (garrickvanburen.com, April 28, 2009) - [The Envrionmental Inverted Pyramid](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0b328bd33099/) (fivethirtyeight.com, April 28, 2009) - [DIYthemes — Run a Killer Website with the Thesis WordPress Theme](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/2ca4d810c34c/) (diythemes.com, April 28, 2009) - [OSX 10.6 to Bring YouTube Uploading](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/2158190b85e7/) (macapper.com, April 28, 2009) ## Elsewhere - Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://gigaom.com/2009/04/28/419-amazon-acquires-lexcycle-and-iphone-e-reader-app-stanza/
