Amazon Kindle: a Trojan horse for looking normal

I was sceptical before hand, but now this little thing has dropped 4 kilos from my book bag.

I can read and carry all my geeks book, massive pdf files and evil security books without raising suspicions.

I get curious glances on the bus, but none of the looks of outright horror and fear when I leafing through a 1000 pager on TCP/IP.

I can quickly flip to a human friendly book if someone takes and interest in the kindle and wow them with free access to buy books anywhere in the world.

Then I can sneak back to reading up on BOFs, SEH and other three letter acronyms (tla) of the IT world with click of a button.

Even the Microsoft training manual PDF’s overly Visio-ed diagrams come out well.

Mu-ha-ha

Now if only copy write laws banning thousands of books being delivered to Australia based kindles could be sorted, I’d be a very happy man.
