Recently, I linked to Megan McCardle's review of the Kindle, which she liked a lot, and she was so convincing I seriously thought about buying one. I didn't, though, and after reading Ann Althouse's take, I may have to think about it a little longer:
ADDED NOTE TO READERS WHO ARE HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING THIS POST: I've added boldface and enlarged some print in the original post, which was apparently a tad subtle. Let me be sledgehammer clear. The stuff about smell is humor. My problem with the Kindle was AND IS the gray-on-gray screen. I want contrast: black letters on a white background. I want that in a book, and I want that in a computer screen, and of course, I want that in an electronic book. I want easy to read. I don't want to read ugly gray-on-gray print. Get it?
