Letterman on Kindle

I don’t watch a lot of late-night talk shows, but last night I flipped to the Late Show just as David Letterman was making fun of the Kindle—more specifically, joking about how the iPad will run Kindle out of business. During his monologue, Letterman ran a “commercial” about all the great things you can do with your Kindle. . . besides reading.

His suggestions (to watch the complete segment, view this YouTube clip; the commercial start around 3:10):

Stabilize a wobbly table

Flip pancakes!

Make a coaster for your iPad

Of course, at BookPage, we’ve already made our thoughts known concerning Kindle vs. iPad. (If you missed Lynn’s report, check it out here.) What do you think. . . is Dave right, and Kindle’s on the outs?

    I hope both the Kindle and iPad are on the outs when it comes to reading. Neither one will ever compare to a good old fashioned book in my hands.
