Okay, maybe it's a little strange that this is the post immediately following the one about the glories of my new, yet old-fashioned ink-on-paper library. But a few people have asked me about this, so it is my duty to report: Severance Package is now available in an Amazon Kindle edition. You can download it right this very second, if you were so inclined.
Do I have a Kindle? No. Do I plan on buying one? Oh... I don't know. While I love the idea of having 200 books in one little device at all times, it seems devoid of all of all the little things I love about ink-on-paper books. The cheesy die-cut covers. The smell of aging pages. Over-the-top and/or ridiculous back cover copy. The feel of a nicely-assembled tome in my hands.
And let's not forget the sublime joy I've been enjoying this week: running my eyes over the spines of my collection. Don't think you have quite the same experience scrolling down a screen, no matter how sharp the "electronic paper."
But what the hell do I know. I think I was born 30 years too late. I had my way, every paperback would be designed like a God Medal. What do you guys think? Any of you have a Kindle?
