So amazon has an ebook service and a pretty neat little reader. Ok, so eInk is really cool, take that as read. And I agree that the important part of a book is the data, not the medium. But the thing costs $400 freakin’ dollars. It isn’t compatible with my favorite book service, so if I want to read books on it I need to provide my own text or shell out $10 a book. I am just not really sold on the thing. Intellectually I understand that digital data ought to be distributed digitally.
But I would like to avoid having to spend money for yet another kind of media-viewing device, and frankly, I like books.
And so far, I agree. Javascript is broken. But it isn’t broken because it doesn’t have formal class declarations and strict typing!
