“Daddy, what were Kindles?”

This photo was floating around the internet back in January, and I assume the sign in the photo was for a small independent book store. I think that there will always be a place for paper-bound books, but for more ephemeral works, especially things like rapidly-outdated technical manuals, I’m grateful for the electronic versions.

  • Hi, this was a sign I did for Waterstones (massive UK book chain) as a joke after the company decided to stop selling the Kindle when sales dropped off.
