		<description>The best comment was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/opinions/a-canadian-eh-book-reader/article1366941/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Gerry Flahive&#039;s in this morning&#039;s Globe&lt;/a&gt; which is right there with the MacKenzie Bros:  Here is an extract

    * Read for Weeks on a Single Charge: Your Kindle&#039;s power, however, will shut down once a day for three hours in order to fulfill proposed requirements of the international climate change treaty;
    * ‘Read-To-Me&#039; Text-To-Speech feature: Kindle can read newspapers, magazines and books out loud in a computer-generated version of Peter Mansbridge&#039;s voice (on weekends, in the voice of Howie Mandel);
    * Instant Dictionary Lookup: Kindle comes loaded with a dictionary, full of just the words that appear in Hansard, the official transcript of the House of Commons;
    * Kindle Canada is HST-ready – no need to manually calculate the seven compounding sales taxes on your purchase! It&#039;s the gift you&#039;ll want to co-purchase with a group of nine or 10 friends!
    * ‘I Love My Province!&#039; feature: Due to a number of complex, overlapping and bitter interprovincial trade disputes, a book you download in one province cannot be read in another. However, our new partnership arrangements mean that you can read Via Rail menus, schedules and emergency-window-breaking-procedures manuals seamlessly all across Canada! Not to mention back issues of the Canadian Tire catalogue, and trans-Canada Zellers coupons!
    * Like to share your books? No problem. Each Kindle is coated with a thin, durable layer of Purell hand-sanitizer.
    * Canadians are said to have 37 words for “beige,” and you can order your Kindle in any one of them, including “Pallid,” “Pre-washed Khaki” and “Pasta.”</description>

		<description>Hey Steve, we&#039;re experimenting with the newest Sony e-reader. Would be very interested to hear your impressions of the Kindle. I&#039;m still pondering the role of libraries vis a vis readers. Toronto Public Library seems to be in the &quot;content&quot; business, but I&#039;ve read some interesting case studies from US libraries (academic) which are lending Kindles.</description>
