Happy birthday, Kindle

Today marks the fifth birthday of the Amazon Kindle -- the biggest change in the way we read since Penguin started selling paperbacks for the cost of a pack of smokes. I was a slow convert to e-books, but that's mainly an outgrowth of being able to receive free review copies than a Luddite stance. My wife has a Kindle (current selection: "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand) and I often read on my iPad.
