Prediction: Kindle is a total winner. C2, I recall when supermarkets first started appearing. The corner store and grocer were personal, tactile, and all the other good things. But while they still exist, they fill a niche. Supermarkets have garnered the vast proportion of sales. When screw caps instead of corks were suggested, wine snobs were against it. Now, people bypass corks and select wines with screw caps. Yes, all the drama about cork screws, smelling the cork and so on were tactile, aural and all that stuff. Luddites always oppose new stuff. There will still be a book industry. But the Kindle and kin will gobble up the vast majority of the market. Reading a book in a bath is a pain when it's paper. The pages get soggy. Single-handed reading is tricky with paper. Access to the reading material will be much more convenient, instant and cheaper. There are many benefits. Think of the trees! No more murdering trees to read a book. No more greenhouse gas emissions to produce the paper and transport it. Long Live the Kindle, Mqurice
