On this debut episode of The Kindle Chronicles, the "What's on Your
Kindle?" interview is with
The Onion's
web-and-election wizard
Baratunde Thurston, a comedian and
blogger who
offers great suggestions for a wished-for social network capability
for the Kindle, and how the device has changed the way he
reads. Here is some of what's on Baratunde's Kindle:
The Scar by China Mieville

Organizations by Clay Shirky
The Daily Kos
treehugger

York Times
Also in this episode, News of
rumors of a new Kindle in October, a Tech Tip for
changing the
images on your screen in sleep mode, and a Kindle Quote from
Team of Rivals by
Doris Kearns Goodwin.
