I just received an email from Amazon announcing its new electronic book reader, Kindle. "Reads like paper!" they claim. Uh, yeah, right.Didn't they try this about ten years ago? I swear I downloaded a Stephen King e-book. It's probably still on my old IBM Thinkpad, which I can't bear to throw away. Just in case, you know, some day it becomes a valuable antique. Or I remember where I put that first screenplay I wrote.
No surprise to geeks and geek lovers eveywhere, one of the first Kindle titles available is Snowcrash.
