My 13-yr old niece is buying a Kindle. When I asked if any of her friends had one she said no.
This last part from the link has the ring of truth:
Let me leave you with a quote from another Peanut Press founder, one which reflects his not-entirely unfounded optimism about the subtle seduction of e-books: "You know what we call people who finally try e-books after they've sworn they could never read on a handheld device? 'Customers.'"I recall asserting my horror at e-reading devices to Steven Riddle, thinking they had the odor of sulphur about them. But an old email from '03 to Steven reveals an openness:
"I read your post on Catholic Bookshelf about e-books and though I don't like reading on a screen I do prefer that to waiting in line and looking at my shoe! I am intrigued by the notion of being able to read the Catechism in bite-size pieces while waiting on interminable elevator rides."
