A fun read on the early days of the Kindle.
Amazon’s event is starting in a few minutes, and somehow I ended up on this 2009 story about the early days of the Kindle, and the reading revolution it promised but didn’t quite deliver:
This was what they were calling e-paper? This four-by-five window onto an overcast afternoon? Where was paper white, or paper cream? Forget RGB or CMYK. Where were sharp black letters laid out like lacquered chopsticks on a clean tablecloth?
Amazing how much has changed... and not changed.
Can the Kindle Really Improve On the Book?
