He is really spot on here as I don't own but I do belive thank ebooks will take over in work first rather than home use as with a novel you kind of like holding the book but with workyou just want to understand or get the content and that's it you not interested in the paper or whatever you bookworms geek out about
but I do think that enovels will come but now I think they should focus on getting the enterprise side down and then people will get into novel reading on a kindle.

I have to disagree. I've owned a Kindle since December 2007, and I love the experience of reading the New York Times on it. The design is that you start at the beginning of the articles list (Front Page section), which lists the headline and capsule of each article. You can click on a headline to go to the full article, and full articles all start with links to skip to the next article, to the sections list, or to the articles list for the current section. When you're done with an article, you can use the BACK button (not prev. page) to go back to the capsule where you linked from, or you can keep scrolling through the full articles.
This may not be the perfect interface, but it sure beats the physical newspaper hands down! (And I love to be able to look up the "big words" when I don't know them. I'm smart, but I didn't know the word lacuna, nor do I think it is a better word to use than gap!)
