Kindling a desire for e-books

I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of a Kindle - it may have to wait for my return to Hong Kong where I am spending some of the half term delivering some presentations to students and teachers (more on this when I get there). Rory Cellan Jones from the BBC has been road-testing the Kindle and is very enthusiastic. Diane Coyle can see some of the benefits but is more sceptical and like many of us doesn’t want to be surrounded by empty bookshelves. I will be taking two hard backs with me on the flight. Roger Bootle’s new book The Trouble with Markets and the much-hyped SuperFreakonomics by Steve Levitt and Stephen Dubner reviewed here by Tim Harford.
