The future of reading... and the state of the Games

That indefatigable technophile, James Fallows, has finally got his hands on a Kindle e-book. His impressions are almost entirely positive. Knowing what it's like to be stuck on a long flight without a good book, I was particularly taken with the idea of downloading one while waiting for take-off. Very Dan Dare.

Btw, Fallows continues to be a must-read source on the preparations for the Beijing Games. He's still worried about smog, but he also explains why he thinks it's imperative the Games are a success: if they aren't, foreigners will get the blame.
