Dogear Nation

Michael and Michael welcome special guest Kirk Nelson. Before they begin celebrating the 4th of July, they guys talk about the Kindle. Both Kirk and Michael R. recently picked up Kindles and tell you all about the pluses and minuses from Amazon’s e-book reader. Michael M. decides to bring up other on-line book readers as a point of comparison. The 4th of July celebrations begin with a discussion of beer dispensing robots and a shout out to Robin Carey from Social Media Today.
