My Take on Amazon Kindle

Another year another eBook reader.   Ignoring the Kindle’s circa 1981 industrial design, here’s a simple experiment to explain why eBooks will never succeed:

  1. Make a list of the top 10 biggest geeks you know
  2. Make a list of the 10 people you know who own the most books

Create a Venn diagram of these lists.

If the geeks don’t want their books digitized, who does?

  • I’m saying the exact opposite :) Geeks, who love their music and videos in digital form seem to have no trouble with piles of books.
