AdAge reports that Amazon has approached at least two ad agencies with a pitch for ads or special offers on a Kindle Fire.

Tech Tips – Brett McNeil McNeill on Collections for the Kindle Touch, Tom Semple on images for the Touch, and my construction of a homemade Kindle Fire stylus to use with the 99-cent Smart Writing Tool app. It was a fun project, but afterward I ordered the real thing.

Interview (Starts at 17:48) – Mark Pierce, pastor of Church Requel in Mansfield, Ohio, met me for breakfast on May 15th at the Paul Revere Family Restaurant in Lexington, Ohio. Since he had a successful career as a financial analyst before turning to the ministry, I asked him for his take on Amazon as an investment. We then moved on to technology at his church and what he has learned in the last year sharing 1,200 e-books on one Amazon account among 12 family members using about 20 Kindles and Kindle apps. After our interview, we switched microphones, and Mark recorded a separate conversation that will appear on his Church Requel Podcast Monday, May 21st.

Content – Bible by YouVision, and the debut this week of unglue.it . Also: Inside Higher Ed’s post on unglue.it .

I changed my iPod's name to "Titanic".  It's syncing now.

When chemists die, they barium.

Jokes about German sausage are the wurst.

I know a guy who's addicted to brake fluid.  He says he can stop anytime.

How does Moses make his tea?  Hebrews it.

I stayed up all night to see where the sun went.  Then it dawned on me.

The girl said she recognized me from the vegetarian club, but I never met herbivore.

I'm reading a book about anti-gravity.  I just can't put it down.

I did a theatrical performance about puns.  It was a play on words.

They told me I had Type-A blood, but it was a Type-O.

Unglue.it will run crowd-funding campaigns to raise money for specific books that are already published. If the financial goal of the rights holder is met, unglue.it will pay to “unglue” the book. This means the title will be published without Digital Rights Management (DRM) with a Creative Commons BY-NC-ND license.

At today’s launch, unglue.it is starting campaigns to unglue the following five books:

Michael Laser, 6-321
Joseph Nassise, Riverwatch
Nancy Rawles, Love Like Gumbo
Budding Reader, Cat and Rat
Open Book Publishers, Oral Literature in Africa, by Ruth Finnegan.

This seems like a fantastic idea to me. Hat tip to Paul Biba of Teleread, where I spotted news of today’s announcement.

I have an email out to Eric Hellman, president of Gluejar, inviting him to be my guest on a future episode of The Kindle Chronicles. I’d like to learn more about how this innovation came about, and the early results of the first campaigns.

His most recent posts considered how writing and reading have changed in the digital age. An earlier one serves as a good resource for tracking down books and articles on the topic. I’ve added the Critical Margins RSS Feed to my Google Reader and am following @CriticalMargins on Twitter, eager to hear more about an area of inquiry that has fascinated me since my first Rocket eBook.

Pastor Mark Pierce

Kindle Fire tips were just one of the topics that Pastor Mark Pierce of Church Requel and I discussed this morning over breakfast at the Paul Revere Family Restaurant in Lexington, Ohio. You will hear more from Mark next week in The Kindle Chronicles (TKC) episode 198, because at the end of our conversation I turned on my Olympus LS-10 recorder for an official interview. Then Pastor Mark fired up his Zune to turn the tables on me, asking thoughtful questions for his Church Requel podcast episode that will air Monday, May 21st.

Darlene and I are on the road again, somewhere in northern Ohio. During my hour in the passenger’s seat I have had time to check email and work on this post to the TKC blog. So I found an e-mail from Mark that contains the following helpful links and comments about topics we talked about 169 miles ago:

  • Free month of Hulu Plus - everywhere else the free trial period is only a week or two.
  • Kinde Fire app for Hulu Plus  – it’s probably just easier to search from your Fire on the app store… but make sure you get the one for the Fire and NOT the android version.
  • Roku for your television.  If you decide to try Hulu Plus on your Fire, you will probably want to have access to Hulu Plus on your TV.  Sadly, this is not yet available using AppleTV.  If you don’t already have a smart TV, Roku is a great alternative.  There are 4 models from $50 to $90.  I’d buy it through Amazon rather than direct from Roku so you have Amazon’s warranty and money back satisfaction.
  • Catalyst Podcast - (A resource for pastors and church leadership.)
  • Build and Analyze Podcast with Marco Arment and Dan Benjamin.  Marco is the guy who came up with Instapaper.
  • Instacast Podcast Listening iPhone app – This is SOOO much better than using iTunes.  And I have confirmed that there is no Kindle Fire version.
  • Downcast app for iPhone.  This is the main competition to Instacast.  They may even be the leading podcast catching software for iPhone.  I can’t remember now why I went with Instacast, though I really like it!
  • BeyondPod Podcast Manager for Kindle Fire – BeyondPod is for Android what Instacast and Downcast are for iOS.  When I was listening on my Android Evo, this was the software I was using.  There is both a free and a paid version available for the Kindle Fire.  Definitely worth checking out if you want to use the Fire for this.  Personally, I find the iPhone to be the perfect device for podcast listening since I have it with me all the time.

When two podcasters who listen to each other’s shows get together, there is lots to talk about. Mark has recently updated his show to include comments on weekly issues in the news and personal observations related to his ministry, as well as a recording of his weekly sermon at Church Requel. It’s an original combination of content aimed at people who are not now attending church regularly, which includes me. He has also listened to The Kindle Chronicles since nearly the beginning, almost four years ago.

For my part, weekly podcasts about the Kindle have connected me with fascinating listeners from all over the world, from Ohio to Paris. It’s been an amazing journey, I realize as Darlene and I cross the border into New York state. And there is plenty of road ahead.
