[arrl-odv:18308] Ham radio lives in the science fiction world....

See our lead story on the web today: *ARRL Licensing Study Guides Coming to an eBook Reader Near You* (Dec 9, 2009) -- ARRL is pleased to announce that owners of Kindle <http://www.amazon.com/Kindle> -- an electronic book reader sold by Amazon.com <http://www.amazon.com> -- can now download /ARRL's Tech Q&A/ <http://www.amazon.com/ARRLs-Tech-Q-A-ebook/dp/B002YNSBNE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259944328&sr=8-2-catcorr> directly from the online bookseller for use on their Kindle. Kindle is shaped much like a book with a paper-like screen that displays text and pictures. Those who have the Kindle application installed on their Apple <http://www.apple.com/> iPhone <http://www.apple.com/iphone/> or iPod touch <http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/> can also download the book to be used on these devices. When you download the /Tech Q&A/, you can gain access quickly and easily, smoothing the path to your first ham radio license within minutes. This ideal study tool -- whether you’re at home, in the office, traveling or just on the go -- lets you review the questions and answers from the entire Technician question pool so you can pass the 35-question exam. Kindle versions of the General Q&A and the /Amateur Extra Q&A/ will be available sometime in January. All three can be purchased from Amazon.com for $9.99 each. Who would have imagined such a thing in the 40's, 50's, or 60's ?????? I am willing to bet that a few hams will complain. Should we start a pool and pick numbers as to how many we get? Do not misread me here. As a Kindle DX owner I think it is great. Good work Harold. Thanks the crew, please. Frank....N2FF.....
