One step beyond the kindle . . .


Heading out to Jackson, Mississippi today . . . and thinking that the next time I pack my suitcase, it'll be for my VACATION!  YIPPEE!  (We're cruising again--going to Guatemala, Belize, and Mexico, I think. I only hope the Gulf remains calm.)  

Okay, so you've heard me talk about how much I love my Kindle--the ebook reader from Amazon.  But take a look at this, the next generation of e-reader.  (You may want to let the entire video load before you press play.) 

Okay, so it won't fit into a pocketbook.  But can you imagine keeping all of your piano music on one of these?  Turning a page with a tap on the screen?  Having your entire college text--ALL of your college texts--on one of these?  Maybe the price of college textbooks would finally come down. 

Very Jetsons, isn't it?  Moms could finally lighten their kids' backpacks and stop all those little kids from toppling over backward in the school parking lot.  :-)  

I'm telling you, the future is an awesome thing . . .
