I AM yet to be persuaded of the point to the Kindle, which has become the most popular product for Amazon.
As the more device becomes more and more successful, less and less books will be printed.
This new gadget allows people to download digital copies of books and newspapers and it similar to the ipod, where people download music.
There are points in its favour and these are: it is portable, it allows you to keep all your books on one device, it saves using paper and it saves space.
But we have had books for many years and I prefer looking at a book to read, as opposed to staring at a computer screen. Critics of the Kindle have said a real book never runs out of battery.
Though the device is catching on and Amazon sold eight million of them in Britain and the US last year.
Already you can buy 500,000 digital books on Amazon.
Stieg Larsson’s novels The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets’ Nest, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played With Fire also featured on the top ten best sellers on amazon.co.uk in 2010.
Meanwhile I was glad England’s cricket team won the final test in Sydney to take the series 3-1.
If they had lost the match and drawn the series, it would have taken some of the shine of their performances.
It is an amazing effort to win the Ashes in Australia for the first time since 1987.
