My Kindle 2 Review at Publishing 2020
I've been tweeting up a storm about our new Kindle. Joe Wikert of Publishing 2020 and Kindleville fame asked me to do a guest post about my initial reaction to the Kindle 2 that arrived in my mailbox yesterday. You can read it here.

I enjoyed reading your review of the Kindle 2. I just wish he hadn't put the whole thing in italics. Don't people realize how hard it is to read more than one sentence of italics? This is just as true on the paper page as on the computer (or Kindle) screen. A while back I read a novel that used a flashback for its first chapter, and just to make sure you understood it was a flashback, the entire chapter was printed in italics. What an ordeal!
