Possibly my favorite description of the Kindle ever comes from Rachel Walsh, an Illustration student at Cardiff School of Art & Design. Her assignemtn: “Explain something modern/internet based to someone who lived and died before 1900.” She chose to explain the Kindle to Charles Dickens by creating books within a book:

“All the books I made had the actual covers on them, and were the books Dickens wrote, his favourite childhood books, or books I’ve got. There are 40 little books inside.”
