That caught my attention and I laughed.
There was another NPR story last week that took place at a huge book fair in Buenos Aires. The reporter pulled one woman aside and asked her if should ever read on an ebook reader like the Amazon Kindle. She didn't know what a Kindle was so he explained that it was like a small computer you hold in your hand to read books. The woman immediately latched on to how bad computer screens are for the eyes when reading. I just sighed. Bad description, bad expectations.
