Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but a spokesperson for Zola Books confirmed that there were multiple bidders in the mix and that Zola was the smallest of the bunch. In case you hadn't heard of it, Bookish is a book discovery site founded by Simon & Schuster, Hachette, and Penguin Random House (then known as Penguin Group) to help users (what else?) find new books to lose themselves in. While Bookish itself sells books directly to consumers, Zola seems much more interested in its ability to recommend new books to readers based off of titles they've enjoyed in the past. ]]> https://techcrunch.com/2014/01/06/lg-teams-up-with-line-to-let-you-control-smart-appliances-with-text-messages/ Mon, 06 Jan 2014 16:15:41 +0000 https://techcrunch.com/?p=936918 https://techcrunch.com/2014/01/03/tactus-raises-series-b-to-help-bring-its-disappearing-touchscreen-keyboard-to-market/ Sat, 04 Jan 2014 01:48:00 +0000 https://techcrunch.com/?p=936230 Tactus and its amazing appearing tablet keyboard did.

Well, perhaps calling it “new” is overstating things a bit. The updated, $199 Carbon Steel edition is a hair hardier than the original B1 and it’s better looking to boot, but the big draw is the addition of improved sleep analytics that can assign personal Sleep Scores and ultimately tell just how soundly a wearer is sleeping. ]]> https://techcrunch.com/2014/01/01/motorolas-flagship-moto-x-gets-a-permanent-price-cut/ Wed, 01 Jan 2014 18:36:07 +0000 https://techcrunch.com/?p=935294 sans-contract Moto X — a fully-customized 16GB model for any carrier will now only set you back $399 rather than the $499 it would’ve originally cost.
