The Ladies' Club

So I was at the nail salon recently, getting groomed for the week, and as the manicurist was snipping off a metric ton of dead cuticle from my fingers, I looked over and lo, the woman sitting next to me was reading...on a Kindle!

"Wow!" I said. "How do you like it?"

She gave me a look of beatific contentment. "I love it."

She mentioned her husband has one too.

As I watched her, it dawned on me how much greater the Kindle is at the salon - you can read WHILE you are getting your nails done, and because you just push a button instead of flipping a page, the risk to your nails is minimal. For those of us who begin to freak at any sign of incipient boredom, being able to read while getting a manicure is HUGE.

Of course, I bet Amazon didn't exactly put solving the minor irritations of the urban female in their marketing plan for the Kindle.

But maybe they should've.
