TidBITS#978/11-May-09
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/978>

  Amazon's Kindle DX ebook reader was last week's big news, and Adam
  offers a look at what's new, along with thoughts about what sort of
  content the Kindle is best suited to provide. Also this week, Mark
  Anbinder returns with coverage of FileMaker's new Bento app for the
  iPhone, Doug McLean explains a new Apple policy regarding
  water-damaged iPhones, and Neale Monks eulogizes AppleLust founder
  David Schultz. For something a little different, Doug also looks at
  an innovative tool created by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
  to display their massive permanent collection on the Web. In the
  world of software releases, we look briefly at Fireworks CS4 10.0.3
  Updater, Apple's Xserve LOM Firmware Update 1.2, BBEdit 9.2,
  OmniFocus 1.6.1, SousChef 1.2, Apple's iMac EFI Firmware Update 1.4,
  and Tweetie 1.1. Don't miss entering this week's DealBITS drawing
  for a free copy of the iTunes synchronization program SuperSync!
