I’d wholeheartedly disagree. I’m not too keen on kindle, especially not when they can make text change and disappear. Too much similar to the ‘memory hole’, and other arguments that you cannot control information on books, but you can control information on these little e-readers.
I wouldn’t personally buy one. However, I did like using project gutenburg to acquire my readings for university, and building a reader for myself. It saved me thousands of dollars over a four year education.
How do you build a reader?
