Will e-readers force me to doo-doo away with my favorite pastime?
Posted on Tue Mar 16 2010With all the talk of e-readers and iPads being the savior for the
print industry, I started to wonder: What does this mean for me? How
will it affect my everyday life?
And I realized something of major importance. I'm not going to go into
(much) detail, but I enjoy some good, solid reading material when I am in the
can. In fact, it's where I get most of my magazine reading done. This
popped into my head: When I spend late nights on the couch posting items
to Mediaweek.com with my Macbook on my lap, I often have to bring it
over to the kitchen table to give my legs some respite. The damned thing
gets hot after a while. Like singeing-skin hot. Now, I don't have an
iPad yet, but I can only imagine that the back of it gets hot after a
while of being on. And given that when I read magazines on the can, I
rest them on my lap … you get the point.
Maybe I'll be proven wrong in the coming months.
