Whatever it was did appear to be professionally converted, but I didn't actually see a printed page, just a big calligraphy "B". And Steve, even if the Kindle did have backlights, it would have been rude to use them in a movie theater. (Anyway, the movie was pretty decent.) I might have misheard him about what he was reading.

Imagine my surprise when I walked into a subway car and saw that all of the advertising spaces on that car had an ad for a vendor advertising their own cover for Kindles, with a Kindle featured prominently in the ad. However, I do have to say that while my wife has a Kindle 2 and loves it, she does wish it had built in lighting like the Sony 700 that I have, and side by side the 700 is at least an inch shorter than the Kindle.

I'd buy the whole series on Kindle today if they had been, but alas the publisher has so far appears to refuse to publish to digital.

The light rail I ride is increasingly well-represented with iPhones, Blackberries and Kindles in eBook mode. I'm also seeing a gradual uptick in my Kindle Store sales. Life must be getting tougher for the eBook deniers out there. Rob Preece BooksForABuck I’ve started seeing Kindles in the wild as well.
