The Kindle
The new eBook reader that Amazon is introducing has not captured my imagination. That may be becasue I am not a consumer of books in any form. I rely on the public library and the SPCA used book sale and the generosity of colleagues for my meager demand for long form literature.
The consumers of the world who are also readers may embrace this device with some vigor. I am a bit intrigued by the idea that the digital information that comprises a book is going to be deliverable via a wide area cellular network. I’m not sure how soon that will be a reality, but the hardware is capable and a carrier is talking to Amazon.
