Kindle e-books Outselling Paperbacks

Not too surprising. A bigger story would be Barnes & Noble selling more ebooks for the Nook than paper books in their stores.
Since Amazon is online-only to begin with, they'd have a much higher proportion of electronic purchases right off the bat.

More proof we are progressing to a completely digital society.
I still have yet to decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
It'll never be a completely digital society. As much as I love my Kindle, my bookshelves are pretty well-stocked. I bought some paperbacks just a few days ago.
They'll make good fuel when the apocalypse comes.

Considering how small my living space is, and how many books I have already, maybe that's not such a bad thing.
So did I this past Christmas.
No, there doesn't, although maybe the comic book industry could take a hint and switch to this new e-book format, or publishers could use hemp to print books on.
Maybe one of the books you should consider for your ereader is a little gem called Nineteen Eighty-Four.
M Edge sells a waterproof case. Unfortunately, it only fits the second generation kindle, so I haven't used one:

I read all the time in the jacuzzi. Just don't drop it!
I tried that for a while (in the tub)...never dropped it. I've had to return the kindle twice, though (most likely for defective screens), so I'm being extra careful with my latest one. Tub time is now limited to comic books and printed political news stories/columns...
I have a Nook, but they're essentially the same thing ... and yes. Just put it inside a gallon-size Ziploc bag and seal it, fold the end over behind the ereader, and enjoy. Even if it falls into the water, the Ziploc will keep it safe and dry. I haven't had any problems doing this with the Nook, can't imagine there would be any problems with the Kindle.
Or Farenheit 451
I've got a Sony. It's got a faux-leather cover on it so I feel like I always have a pretty good grip on it. I have dropped paperbacks in the tub before though.
Thankfully not in a decade or so. If I dropped my Sony I would cry.
Or "Harrison Bergeron" for that matter.
Boy did Vonnie ever hit that nail on the head.

Wow... I remember doing a skit on this in class once. There's a film somewhere. I would love to see it and make fun of myself.
You could use your iPhone, iPod, and iPad for props. Then edit it on your iMac with iMovie.
