Guess what? I got a Kindle for Christmas! It's really, really neat! It was opened on Boxing Day and before I knew it, two books were downloaded as was a free 2 week trail for The National Post. The next day, my wife spotted an interesting book in the Sunday New York Times and wondered whether it might be available on Kindle. The title was entered and within 30 seconds the book was downloaded on the screen. See the link at the bottom of this post! What's most intriguing is that for most of yesterday Fran was reading the book on my Kindle and had finished it by the end of the day! What a remarkable experience!
eBook readers are going to revolutionize the book industry.! They are easy to operate, instantly give you what you want, the tablet is easy to read - even has 4 different type sizes - and makes the reading experience very simple. Amazon says that on Christmas Day, they sold more eBooks than paper books. Imagine what this means for textbooks! Students will never need to buy a book again - they will all be available electronically!
And this is just the start. eBook readers are in their infancy. Imagine what is to come!
