I'm glad I waited

A Kindle - 1935 Style.

kindle 1935 everyday science

Via Everday Science and Mechanics Magazine 1935

I really enjoy my Kindle, but I don't think this contraption would fit in my gear bag for work.

Paladin said...: LL - Yes. Yes, I do :)

Paladin2214 - Yeah, I thought it odd that he's watching this gizmo but also has regular sized books on the end table beside him.

Kal - I'm wondering if maybe his library would have room for full sized books if he didn't have so much space taken up by this monster. Smoking jackets, in theory, were supposed to absorb smoke smells and protect your clothing from pipe and cigar ash. In actual practice they were mostly just a fashion element popular at the time.; February 26, 2013 at 8:19 AM
