Comment What would Gutenberg say? (Score 2, Insightful) 197

As an editor and writer who saw his first published story set in hot metal, I marvel at Amazon's Kindle reader and its role in the future of the "printed" word.

I'm thrilled to see Oprah endorse Kindle!

No traditional book can offer the interactive platform I've created for the Kindle edition of my novel Brazil or open the door to actively sharing the magic that goes into the making of a monumental novel.

I've linked the e-text to an online guide with 200 images and illustrations, providing an indispensable companion on a fictional journey through five hundred years of Brazilian history. Plus my working notes and the journal kept on a 20,000-kilometer trek across that vast country.

You can see the guide at my website: http://www.erroluys.com/

Were Gutenberg here to see the Kindle, he would have one word to say: "Bravo!"
