I'm waiting for version 4.51 to come out...
ReplyDeleteIs that a particuarly auspicious version number?
ReplyDeleteI don't know.
The prawn of my loins gave me his android. It sits in its leatherette folder beside me, and I promise myself, one day I'll try reading on it again.
Technophobe extraordinaire, me. But kindle giveaways are popular!

I have a deep aversion to any book that doesn't smell of decaying paper - They remind me of Pringles: those pseudo potato crisps (all exactly the same shape) made from re-constituted potato dust.
ReplyDeleteKindle Fire - yes - Fire Kindle
I know.
ReplyDeleteBut no car will ever smell as good as a horse – nor will it chew your hair or sneeze green snot on you – but I’d rather drive the 10kms to the shop in the V6 in 6 minutes than spend the whole day travelling in a gig. And there is no paperback made today that can match the Book of Kells with its leaves of vellum and beautiful artistry, but I can afford to buy a paperback once a year at Christmas if I save up.
Books won’t die, and people should always value them, but the swollen mass of humanity is slobbering its way toward total inactivity, (apart from personal-trainer-endorsed, calorie-calculated specific endeavours), so page turning has lost its charm. Plus there is the RSI of balancing that weighty book.
Life moves on. If I wrote beautiful words like you do, or like Peter [old333] there, I would ache more over the slide of art into commercial dross, but I see it all as a symptom of the more general slide of excellence into a democratic porridge. I’m already at the low end of the slope; I don’t have far to fall.
Kindle giveaways are all the rage now. At bibliotastic.com James is giving away an apple and some kindling if you can name your favourite Romanian poet and backdate your entry.
And I do love the folks at 1889 Labs. They are good people.
Meanwhile, we can dream of the day, post apocalypse, when the tech illiterate survivors ignorantly feed kindles into their fires to warm the cave. :))
Re your analogy: Books travel further than cars ;]
ReplyDeleteIndeed. :)
