Amazon is pre-hawking the ‘electronic paper’ reading device, available Nov. 29. I heard about it at every industry-related free-food event at the journalism school in the last two years.
It is called Kindle, perhaps to distinguish it from the old paper-paper — aka Kindling.
I was hoping for something like a Silpat with words on it (actually, if it could double as a cookie sheet, that would be revolutionary). But this looks like a Palm Pilot for a storm trooper.
I wonder how long it would last at the bottom of my backpack, where the bananas and the other books usually end up?
