How we read online.
How we read online. – By Michael Agger – Slate Magazine
This article was good, short, readable online. Possibly some good links, too. I’m considering a Kindle and this makes me continue to consider. Good read.

You’re probably going to read this.
It’s a short paragraph at the top of the page. It’s surrounded by white space. It’s in small type.
To really get your attention, I should write like this:
- Bulleted list
- Occasional use of bold to prevent skimming
- Short sentence fragments
- Explanatory subheads
- No puns
- Did I mention lists?

I highly recommend a Kindle. I own one. (If you care to, I posted the day I got mine).
The best thing about it is the capacity. Kindle holds 200 books, more with a $30 SD card. I can’t rave enought about it and the services Amazon gives you with your Kindle. Read up on it. Buy it.
