KINDLING

posted by James Reel

    Amazon.com has unveiled an e-book reader called Kindle, which may finally be the commercially successful non-book book device that has been promised us by various seers and manufacturers for at least 10 years. You can see what Farhad Manjoo has to say about it here and here, although he hasn’t yet gotten his hands on the thing. Maybe this will be the devicee that changes my mind; I’m a longtime skeptic of e-books, as you can read here.
