Buried in the ad copy for Amazon’s new ‘Kindle’ electronic book device is the phrase: “From Melville to Morrison, your favorite authors can always be with you.”

Free marketing advice: Make that “From Asimov to Zola.” Your market consists of people who read books, and some of them have gotten past the M’s.

  2. Sounds reasonable. We haven’t had a wave of good old-fashioned book-burning for a while, but rumors are that the current Supreme Court would like to start one.
