Today's Wall St. Journal has this provocative piece about how the combination of Kindle-type reading devices and Google's ranking system of websites will revolutionize reading. Example, the author says that the reader's "total immersion" in another world, the world of the (hand-held) book- may be gone. And with e-books, you'll never read "alone," because, before long, every sentence and every page will link to blogs and commentaries of previous readers' opinions about those passages. There's a lot more. http://tinyurl.com/car6jj
