"I'd be interested to see if it changes the judging process, because you inevitably make judgments about the book from its cover, the author photograph, all that kind of stuff. You don't get any of that on a Kindle, so it may be that you end up judging the book purely on the words it contains."

Así le dicen a uno de los jurados del Man Booker prize, que rechazó recibir un Kindle para leer las obras presentadas. Un ping pong que a mí me deja a favor de unos... y de otros.


"What about the little impacts on our society? I like seeing what people are reading on the bus, or going into their houses and looking at their bookshelves. You don't get that with ebooks."
