[LM_NET] More on the Kindle

[Josephine Dervan <dervan@OPTONLINE.NET>]

Found this in the ALA Direct:Fear the KindleFarhad Manjoo writes: “If the Kindle 
succeeds on its current terms, and all signs suggest it’ll be a blockbuster, Amazon 
will make a bundle.But everyone else with a stake in a vibrant book 
industry—authors,publishers, libraries, chain bookstores, indie bookstores, and 
readers—stands to lose out. In exchange for its convenience, the Kindle locks you 
down with more rules than the Army Field Manual.”..http://www.slate.com/id/2212320/
