I do not feel threatened by the Kindle. (Of course I am already closing my store.) I do see it as a great technological advance in making reading and the purchase of "books" more convienient. This is good. Technology does disrupt the old ways of doing things but when it advances the distribution of content it is in the end a good development. Amazon has brought together the parts that will make this really work. This is only one more step along the way but it is a big and successful one. I am all for it.

More seriously, I wanted to note that even <em>he</em> (threatened by E) had bought one. Happy New Year! David Hey, Nate, I also meant to mention the Kindle he swiped at church.
