Ebooks, Kindle, and Russia
There was a bit of Kindle noise recently. I have no clue about it, I just read what . However, one note for those who think that e-book cannot catch on because it’s “inconvenient”: they are very popular in Russia. I don’t have one, but a large number of my old University cohorts do. The reason is: content aplenty, most pirated. Frankly, if it supported PDF, I wouldn’t mind one, because a) evince is slow, b) separate screen saves real estate. Copy-paste is not very functional in evince either (e.g. keeps grabbing wrong column), so a separate device is no big loss.
