More on Kindle

[caitri]

Farhad Manjoo gets around to reviewing Kindle over at The Machinist. More useful is the commentary in the letters section where people discuss the virtues of the Sony Reader (you can download from Project Gutenberg!) and the price of books anyway. There's also a random posting from someone claiming to be a librarian pointing out all the free books you can get at your local library. Yes, dear, but you have to give them back at some point. And not write in them!

Also, Farhad? Buying 40 books over a five year period does not constitute being a book fanatic. That's about eight books a year--or basically, a good stop at B&N before summer vacation. Really.
