Why you should buy a Kindle (according to xkcd)
Kindle made it into today's xkcd web comic for those of you who don't read the geeky comic strip.
I'd say it is a Kindle 2 from the rounded corners. |

Funny as it may be, the comic might hold a lot of truth. Many innovations are preceded with pre-ideas often in popular books/movies/series. Especially sciencefiction is read by techno-enabling people around the world. The hitchhikerguide might indeed have been an important milestone to the popularity of the idea of eReading.
