Link to May 30 Josh Marshall TPM post, "Kindle Woes".
Excerpt: I've written several times before about the uncannily functional Kindle, which, aesthetic discomfort notwithstanding, has pretty much totally weened me from physical books. But today I'm writing with a more tragic tale. More or less out of the blue, my Kindle's screen has decided to commit suicide. No triggering event, no trauma and certainly no note. The result is one side totally gone, the other side totally bollixed. You can see the crime scene photo here.
Let's see....in Retiring Guy's household, we've had malfunctioning TVs, radios, Walkmans, Discmans, desktop computers, laptops computers, Playstations, Xboxes, cellphones....you name it.
Retiring Guy has a slightly yellowed but still readable 1972 paperback copy of Luke Rhinehart's The Dice Man.
