The Book vs. The Kindle

I have my own Kindle rant coming (I know, “falconesse, aren’t you tired of ranting about the Kindle?”  No, Dear Reader, not at all), but in the meantime…

Green Apple Books in San Francisco has one of those excellent bookselling blogs I was talking about, and decided to host the ultimate Book/Kindle smackdown in their very own store. Episode 1 is on their blog now.  Rounds 2 and 7 are up on the Green Apple Books youtube channel, with more to come in the next few days.  The last webisode will be posted to the blog August 11th, and as Green Apple co-owner told Shelf Awareness’ Bridget Kinsella, it will be “fucking hilarious.”

Go check them out.  Guaranteed to make you laugh and think.
