The Kindle as a pedestrian hazard on the Queensboro Bridge

By David Rothman

image “…I got far more…reading of the Washington Post on [my] Kindle done walking over the Queensboro Bridge at night relying on street lights than if I had been reading the physical paper…The screen kind of draws you in a little hypnotically, and I find when I am walking that I give more of my attention to it than a physical newspaper where I almost have to look up when I turn the page. Agent run over by car when crossing street against light, Kindle in hand.” - Me & My Kindle, in literary agent Joshua Bilmes’ blog.
