Kidd on Kindle

Chip Kidd's brief message on the Kindle is less than (or equal to) 200 words, yet we had such a hard time deciding on which juicy bit to quote. Here's one:

...the printed book as a piece of technology has yet to be improved upon. And won't. Certainly not by something that looks like a prop from Charlie's Angels and has, are you ready, a whopping ONE typeface. For everything! Yay!

Zing.

Why is it so important to people for Kindle to fail?

I'd much rather have a compact, rugged ebook reader than a cheaply bound mass market hardback. I'm just looking forward to version 2.0.
