Spotted over at the EFF Deep Links blog: a series of humorous web videos produced by the folks at Green Apple Books which extol the virtues of paper books over Amazon’s Kindle e-book reader.
Above, an episode which examines how the Kindle fares for folks who might want to resell their book after they’re done reading it (this is what lawyers and people who know what the letters E-F-F stand for refer to as the “first sale doctrine”).
