E-books

While the Kindle and its related services are not available in Australia, I thought staff might be interested in where e-Books are heading - books are a large part of the reason we're employed after all. The following article attempts to explain why e-books still aren't a patch on the printed word: Why E-Books Look So Ugly

Also, for a look at the new Kindle which was only launched in the US in the last couple of weeks, have a look at Hands-On: Kindle DX Is a Pricey Pleasure — Despite Many Flaws.

While I like the look and feel of a 'real' book, I can certainly imagine purchasing an e-Book reader sometime in the future when they've finally perfected the design (and deign to offer a decent one to the Australian market).
