Kindle Me Delighted If Josh Quittner were elderly with macular degeneration, he would be as thrilled as my Kindle-loving 76-year-old husband [March 30]. The print can be made larger. It is so light, he can hold it. He doesn't lose his place. If his eyes get tired, a soothing voice can read to him. And it is so painless to use.

...Reverberations The fury over AIG executives' bonuses is heightened by the overall anonymity of those behind the broader economic collapse, for which no one is being held responsible [March 30].

...More on 10 Ideas Re the new calvinism, one of TIME's 10 world-changing ideas [March 23]: Your approach is a bit U.S.-centric. While Calvinism is certainly gaining influence in the States, that influence pales in comparison with the global sway of charismatic Pentecostalism, which is transforming the religious landscape of the developing world. Sadly, no Christian movement, Calvinist or otherwise, currently has that kind of impact in American society. Richard Land, Nashville
