This afternoon, in the midst of grading student papers, I've indulged in a bit of cyber window shopping. The object of my browsing? The Amazon Kindle, a sassy little piece of technology that, were it not for the beyond-my-current-reach price tag, would so be mine. Every time I order a book from Amazon, I check to see if it's available on Kindle, and when it is, I die a little bit inside. Sigh.
While browsing I decided to look at recent comments on the device and came across the following statement in a comment from Chester Ritchie:
The other thing that is so awesome about this unit is that the book is always flat and on the page you read the best (the right side of the page). Makes reading so much easier and faster.
I'm going to chew on that one for a while. Is the right side of the page the best one? What, if anything, is the Kindle-using reader missing with no left-side experience? I smell a research project coming up.
I wonder if I can get Amazon to hook me up with a copy for testing? ;-)
