Notes de l'éditeur
- My name is Michael and I’m an eBook Curmudgen
- I’m paying 40-80% of list price of a book but not getting a physical object. In other words, I’m paying for a license; the “right to read” a title. If I just wanted to read a title yet not own the book, I’d get it from the library for free?
- I don’t like having to “turn off” my book during take-off and landing
- eBooks aren’t books Books as physical objects are works of art and should be cherished!

- You want to get me all warm & fuzzy, say “hand sewn binding and sewn in silk ribbon bookmark”
- Mine’s autographed. Oh yeah, autograph my Kindle Mr. Bova!
- “ The principal components of electronic ink are millions of tiny microcapsules, about the diameter of a human hair. In one incarnation, each microcapsule contains positively charged white particles and negatively charged black particles suspended in a clear fluid. When a negative electric field is applied, the white particles move to the top of the microcapsule where they become visible to the user. This makes the surface appear white at that spot. At the same time, an opposite electric field pulls the black particles to the bottom of the microcapsules where they are hidden. By reversing this process, the black particles appear at the top of the capsule, which now makes the surface appear dark at that spot.” http://www.eink.com/technology/howitworks.html
