Kindle news

Apparently the Authors Guild is not happy with the Kindle 2.0 "text to speech" option. Amazon and the guild are now working on a compromise that allows 'text to speech', but the voice pattern is that of Droopy Dog.

In other news, The estate of Truman Capote is suing Amazon for the use of Droopy Dog in the 'text to speech' option, saying that by doing so, it dilutes their "brand image".

Oh, I forgot to mention that this is satire.
