[gutvol-d] Free Speech, eBook Readers, and the Nobel Peace Prize

As we complain about the Mickey Mouse copyright laws, perhaps it is time to take a moment to reflect on Free Speech, the Nobel Peace Prize, and where our beloved eBook readers are coming from: Kindle: China Nook: China Kobo: Taiwan iPad: China Samsung Galaxy Tab: Korea Sony 505: China So, most of our "freedom readers" are coming from military dictatorships where the people actually making these products do not have a choice of what they can say nor what they can read. Not sure what to do about it--given that our press has taboos that they cannot or will not talk about nowadays either.
