Kevin, I was under the impression that Kindles were already capable of reading .pdfs out of the box.
Quite possible. I don't have a Kindle or any other kind of ereader.
Kevin, I thought you might be intrigued by some material I found on the novelist/essayist Aldous Huxley in David Goodway's book "Anarchist Seeds Beneath the Snow: Left-Libertarian Thought & British Writers from William Morris to Colin Ward." Huxley was never fully convinced of anarchism, but became something of a fellow traveler after his conversion to pacifism in the early 30's. He corresponded w/ Emma Goldman, moved to America, and began investigating practical means to realize the libertarian ideal. He wrote to Goldman:
"Much is to be learned from the theoretical & practical work of Ralph Borsodi while certain contemporary trends of invention . . . point clearly to the possibility of realizing that economic independence which must be the material basis of a libertarian society. Borsodi has demonstrated that about 2/3 of all production can actually be carried out more economically in small domestic or co-operative units than in large, highly centralized, mass-producing units. But so obsessed are modern men by the idea of centralization & mass production that they can't think in other terms."
Unfortunately, Huxley dropped this line of investigation as he became more interested in mysticism.
Thanks, Ray. I recall reading in Huxley's into to an edition of Brave New World that he wished he'd included a third alternative: a society with Kropotkinian politics and Borsodian economics. But I never thought of pursuing it further until you mentioned this.
