Jacob Weisberg is worried about becoming a Kindle bore. Yeah. Been there. I've sworn off further posts on the subject.

Commentary on technologies of reading, writing, research, and, well, knowledge. As these technologies change and develop, what do we lose, what do we gain, what is (fundamentally or trivially) altered? And, not least, what's fun?

Don't swear! I always profit from from your Kindle posts!
BTW, I loved the Narnian and Original Sin, and I almost bought "A Theology of Reading" in the Kindle store the other day. I just can't decide whether to jump on that wagon. I want my wife and future kids to use my books. And I want future students to be able to borrow books. I also want to leave my books to a son or son-in-law.
I don't recall you touching on that theme so much. Maybe a few more posts are called for!
