The Written Word Re-Born

          The Kindle, or any other e-reader, is one of the most ingenious pieces of technology we have today.  And the greatest thing about it is that it not only introduces new views and experiences, but reintroduces classics as well.  Would a teenager really go out and buy books like a Tale of Two Cities or Tom Sawyer?  Getting books digitally and at a fraction of their price, if not free, have made classics like these much more available and compatible with today's paperless society.  Digital books also save thousands of trees and manufacturing costs, and bring out-of-print books back to life.  Not to mention the ease of traveling with a device one tenth the width of one book instead of carrying ten or twelve paper ones.  Yes, the e-reader has successfuly brought the art of writing back into today's culture, and I'm sure there is much more to come.
