AN OPEN LETTER TO THOSE CONSIDERING AN E-BOOK THIS SEASON
You've read all about them, and you've tried one or two, and you're starting to think, "Should I get one, too?" we're speaking of e-books, this year's new pet rock! They're selling like hotcakes-there's so few in stock! There's the Kindle! The Reader! The Nook!...And nine more! (But the nine are small Taiwanese brands you'll ignore) |

SHELDON (reading): |
"The book-good 9xl?" who makes this? |

NARRATOR (to right of panel): |
So which one to get? Which one do you choose? With format wars looming, there's a chance you could lose! It could be a trap, like the beta machine: choose the wrong system, and you'll burst out a spleen. There's no doubt ol' print is going kaput but you'd hate to be caught on the wrong foot. You could spend all this cash on one big shopping day...Just to find that the market went a whole 'nuther way! |
| 2: |
SHELDON (pointing): |
Like a "Zune" of books. |

NARRATOR (to right of panel): |
Will the Kindle win out? Will the Reader? The Nook? Surely one must win out in the race of e-books. Rest assured of one thing, as you stress about this...An unfortunate truth that you might've missed: REGARDLESS OF WHICH ONE YOU THINK YOU LOVE MORE, IN TWO YEARS IT'LL BE SHOVED TO THE BACK OF A DRAWER.
