Kindled

Kindle is the ideal vessel for book shopping before going to the used bookstore and for reading free books. Buying a new book in kindle, however, makes absolutely no sense. All one really buys is a temporary right to read a book, which makes little in the way of sense.

Kindling Irony

One of the really nifty things about Kindle is the endless number, or so it seems, of free books. Some of them, like Joseph Crosby Lincoln's Cap'n Eri, I've never heard of and, to be honest, it's not clear that I am better off for having altered that state of affairs.  Today's downloads included free Smith's Wealth of Nations and Theory of Moral Sentiments while Marx's Capital cost 89 pennies.
