- Kansas City bookstore burns surplus books in protest at “society’s diminishing support for the printed word.” – Not sure if this is entirely serious; there are certainly more helpful ways to make this point. (Also Leathem/Latham – coincidence?) (Via Maud Newton)
- PersonaNonData: HP’s E-Reader Concept “BOOK” – A pretty one this. Who wants to start getting me demo models of this stuff?

- YouTube – Sony’s flexible, full-color OLED – Video of the above in action.

- You can’t stop a tidal wave with a fork – Salon article on outsourcing and the death of a publishing sector – largely, but not entirely, due to technology. (Via Times Emit)
