now, if you would rather talk about today's news, instead of warmed-up stuff from 2 months back, consider that amazon announced today that -- starting sometime later this year -- people will be able to borrow books from their local libraries by using their kindles... _or_ by using one of the free kindle apps, which you might recall run on a myriad of hardware... odds are that there is a free kindle app that will run on _some_ piece of equipment that you own. so if you are in the neighborhood of one of the 11,000 local libraries involved with the program, the world of electronic-books just got a lot bigger. a whole lot bigger. once again, amazon leads the way. thank you jeff.
