I like how they add that it will be here by Christmas if ordered by noon
And they posted this;
Spoiler:
eReaders: they’re the hot new thing in books… for now.
It has a 9.7” screen capable of displaying graphic-rich books, PDFs, newspapers, magazines, and blogs but there’s no glare and minimal eye-strain thanks to E Ink Pearl technology. It’s only about 1/3 of an inch thick (as thin as most magazines) yet it can hold up to 3,500 books, many of which are free, and can be downloaded, without a PC, in a minute or less over the Free 3G Wireless.
With all this and more, the Kindle DX really takes the eReaders to a new level. In fact, it’s so advanced that it makes you wonder, what could the future of books possibly hold? Here are our predictions:
2012: Fear of the Mayan Apocalypse among librarians will lead to the first meteor-proof hardcover books. Of course, nothing will come of the predictions, and the resources used to build the books will be considered wasted.
2017: eReaders will come with built-in air conditioning for beach reading.
2023: The discovery that copies of The Bridges of Madison County can serve as alternative fuel source will end wars and save the environment.
2045: The development of the edible word will bring about a new breed of writers, renowned both for their way with words and their culinary prowess.
2092: A first edition copy of Huckleberry Finn brought to life through a series of laboratory mishaps will become the first book president of the United States of America.
2094: Under President Finn, books will be given the right to simply close/power off if they aren’t in the mood to be read.
3011: A rebel uprising will overthrow Former President/Current Evil Dictator Finn after the brutal 7-year Paper and Skin War.
3012: A closer reading of the Mayan prophecy will reveal that they meant
3012 all along. The world will end. All will be lost, aside from the above-mentioned meteor-proof books. They’ll be fine.
They messed up a bit with dates, Finn was president for 917 years
I think they meant 2112.
