National Luddite Radio

So, I was listening to NPR, and they were discussing using the Amazon Kindle for your summertime reading.  Onee of the major sticking points -- beyond the fact that with a digital device you don't get the "feel" of really reading a book -- was fear concern that when reading by the pool, you can't get a Kindle wet.

You can get a few drops on it but it is not water resistant in case you drop it into the pool.

And you know what else you can grab with your wet hands but doesn't work if you submerge it?  

A book.

Just saying...
