I heard a story this morning on NPR about ebook readers. The last comment was a quip asking whether Fahrenheit 451 would burn a Kindle. This intrigued me so much that I nearly hit a tree as I was driving. It sounds like a great experiment to try! Unfortunately, I don't own a Kindle or I would do it myself. Is anyone else interested in popping their Kinny into the oven for a trial run? Don't forget to preheat to 451 F (233 C). And if you could post a YouTube video of the result, I would be most appreciative.
