The Dwapara Book is now available on Amazon's Kindle electronic book reader, a device potentially as revolutionary in the book publishing world as the iPod/iTunes have been in the music publishing world.Apple is now the #1 retailer of music in the US, passing Wal-Mart in April, 2008.
As the WSJ recently noted, the Kindle, no matter how ground-breaking, is currently out-of-stock following a plug on the powerful "Oprah" TV show.
All of these trends are themselves symptomatic of the space-defeating nature of Dwapara Yuga whereby people are no longer limited to the physical stocks of local stores, or waiting days for national or international shipments but can increasingly access copyrighted information instantly.
Any profits are donated to the One Laptop Per Child Charity (laptop.org) - two donated so far in 2008.
Note: January 28, looks like a new version of Kindle is likely to be announced in early February.
Note: March 3, the Kindle 2 is out and the new sync functionality is slated to allow reading on iPhones.
