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. Whiny kids in their 40s and 50s can complain, but for us, the Kindle is priceless. It has changed his life. Barbara Plungy, DENVER

...something to say, Japan's Brazilian community listens.

It sounded like a good deal to the Brazilians for whom it was intended. The fine print in Portuguese, however, revealed a catch that soured...
...While ironing out the original story, the movie adds a wrinkle that will impress many a reviewer with its poignancy. Here the main reporters are career antagonists representing two generations, indeed two species, of daily journalism: he an ink-stained kvetch of the print era, she an online blogger looking for the gossip angle. They might be Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell from the classic newspaper comedy His Girl Friday, except the tension is all professional, nothing romantic. (No time for lovey-dovery; must keep main story moving.) But it is perfectly symbiotic; the two use their complementary skills...
...blood out of a stone. Many economists have been concerned that the collapse of print, television, and internet display advertising is a strong indicator of how the broad economy is performing. Marketers in these media range from large drug firms spending tens of millions of dollars to small mechanic shops putting classified ads in the local newspaper. If all of these forms of adverting are down 25% to 35% it means that many, many businesses cannot even afford to invest in acquiring new customers. That, as much as any other sign, shows the depth of the recession's effect...
