I Have Seen the Future. . .
. . . and it's a one-room library with nothing but Kindles. The lone librarian sits behind a desk. You get into the single line. When you get to the desk, the librarian asks for the first letter of the last name of the author you want to read. You answer. The librarian hands you the correct Kindle and scans the barcode tattooed on your wrist. You leave. Life is sweet.

I just exchanged a Tweet with a guy who had intended to buy a Kindle, but none of the books he was interested in was in their catalog.
But before long, everything will be.
Now if they just administered the dose of soylent green about then....
"Soylent Green is MADE OF KINDLES!"
My brother has just complained to me of the Digital Rights Management restrictions of the Kindle and Kindle 2.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cider [sic], you're one hour too late to receive access...aren't you adjusted to Central Kindle Time?"
If I had to rely on libraries for my reading I'd never do any. The fault lies not with libraries, but with me.
You can buy an awful lot of used books for the price of a Kindle 2. That being said, I have to admit I'm tempted. Stop me before I go to the Dark Side!
You really should wait for the Kindle 3. Or 4.
The KindleBerry. Two years, tops.
