On a vaguely-related note to my last story, Wired reports based on a C-SPAN clip (embedded below) that Supreme Court justices who use e-reading technology to deal with legal briefs do so in different fashions. Justice Elena Kagan uses a Kindle, but Justice Antonin Scalia is an iPad owner.
Wired has some fun with this revelation, asking questions like
Would Scalia see things differently if he read opinions on the monochrome Kindle? Does Kagan need a dose of iPad color, and maybe a round or two of Flight Control HD between court sessions?
But I just find it interesting that the most elevated judges in the land are finding that e-book readers help them deal with the 40 to 50 briefs they must read for any given case. E-reading really is breaking out everywhere!
