Back in November, in a special meet-up recording of The Kindle Chronicles, I suggested that it would be a wonderful thing if Amazon were to give Kindles to each member of Congress and then to make all proposed legislation available free for all Kindle users, including members of Congress, as a way of promoting informed citizenship. So rather than stoop to some lame joke about how today’s free Kindle books are going to cost us all money sooner or later, I’ll just say that Amazon’s announcement that it would provide free Kindle editions of the budget and the President’s Economic Report is a great first step.
