The author gets the price range of the Kindle wrong (the lowest regular is 115, not 140) and he insists, at several points in the article, that the Kindle has no web access to " hop off to the Web to look up facts, which I often wanted to do when reading a historical novel."
His last line is worth quoting, too: "But if money is tight, go for print. My used paperback cost only $4." And, I might add, he will most likely be able to sell the paperback after he has read it, recouping some of his cost. Can't do that with an ebook.
