Kindle, e-books, libraries…

Posted on November 19th, 2007

I just published a new issue of my free newsletter. The main article is, entirely by coincidence, about ebooks and libraries — a coincidence because Amazon just announced Kindle, its ebook hardware.

November 19, 2007

The future of book nostalgia:
Anthony Grafton’s New Yorker article on why libraries will always be with us shows the power of book nostalgia.

What we owe:
As parents we need to fight to let the Internet we love be a settled part of our children’s lives.

By the way, Everything Is Miscellaneous is available for Kindle. Cluetrain is not.
Also by the way, I just got a link from Urs Gasser to his contribution to a recent conference on the future of books.

    Why is your one book available for Kindle, and the other not?
