Do Busy Lawyers Need a New Way to Read?
Saturday, May 3rd, 2008
I have to admit. I’m conflicted about Kindle, Amazon’s new(ish) digital book-reading gadget. It looks cool enough. But, two things are stopping me:
I remember the not-so-pleasant experience of reading digital books on Palm products. No, thanks.
