The Paperless Paper is Near

Everyone knows about the Kindle eReader from Amazon.  The Kindle 2 is just around the corner.  These are eReaders from Amazon and they have their own marketing/distribution chain similar to iTunes.  The Kindle is primarily for reading books.  I’ve played with one a couple times – I really like them – but unfortunately, I don’t read enough books.  I’m more of a periodical kinda guy – it feeds my ADD.  I’m on the train every morning reading the newspaper.  Along comes the Plastic Logic eReader.  I’m sure there are others out there – I haven’t really researched them enough.  If I could get my morning paper in a paperless format and in an easy manor, I’d be all up for it.  I feel bad getting the paper each day from an environmental standpoint.  On a lost art form standpoint – I relish reading the paper.  The fact that my newspaper comes wrapped in a plastic bag each day doesn’t help my conscience.  So if Plastic Logic can launch – and I can wirelessly get the Chicago Tribune on the eReader and take it on the train – put me down for one – hell – send me one and I’ll blog about it
