So when the BBC runs a news piece about the death of the book/coming of the Kindle – how does it chose to make its point? Why, by waving copies of Wolf Hall throughout the interviews, of course, with a final shot of Kindle and WH side by side. Thank the gods for Man Booker – without it the Beeb would have been obliged to wave copies of Dan Brown’s latest instead…..(since they don’t expect us to have heard of any other titles, they would naturally assume that we would fail to recognise the non-Kindle object)
