...most basic improvement is its screen: Just like sitting in front of the computer all day, reading on previous e-book readers was a surefire way to get a headache. Kindle’s cutting-edge “e-paper” screen dispenses with the problem, reflecting light the same way as ink on paper. The ability to download books over the Internet directly from the machine (as opposed to connecting to a computer to get new content) also means that getting new books is even easier than using the library...

Much also deserves to be said about the undemocratic dynamics intrinsic to capitalism. The claim that free markets march hand-in-hand with democracy obscures their basic incompatibility: Capitalism denies participatory politics, insofar as central institutions in society (corporations, workplaces, etc.) are autocratically organized. It should therefore be unsurprising that, from savage coups in Indonesia in 1965 to Chile in 1973, free-market policies have typically been imposed in brutal defiance of the popular will...
