@1773 Thanks. Unfortunately, this story originally took me a full work week to research and write, and blogging doesn't normally allow for that pace. Worse, a whole lot more people care about the Kindle Fire vs. iPad than care about a historical perspective piece. That said, this is one of my favorite articles and research projects ever.
I also did a piece once about the history of the Codex Sinaiticus that also took more than a week to research and write, and that one was fascinating, too. I love blogging, but its short-form, rapid turn, eyeball-driven model does mean we don't have the luxury of doing pieces like this very often.
