WEEK 9 : 22 : ebooks

Not too confusing this time.

From "Project Gutenburg" which was the first & largest single collection of FREE electronic books

to

"Kindle" Amazon's latest own-brand, wireless electronic book reader.
At launch priced at US$ 399 ( GBP 195 ) with 90,000 ebooks available at US$9.99 each for "Kindle"

Not sure about the logic , or cost for that matter, in having to purchase a ebook "reader" to conveniently "read" an ebook ??

Certainly fabulous for some , in some circumstances ,

but give me a "hardcopy" book any day ( a cup of tea, or glass of wine optional )
