Now here’s a good idea. From hotelchatter.com:
The Algonquin has launched an “eBooks on Demand” program which offers Kindles pre-loaded with “a variety of best-sellers, modern classics” and even a few books written by the members of the hotels legendary Round Table (Fanny Herself by Edna Ferber, Love Conquers All by Robert Benchley). And if you request a book that isn’t loaded on there, the hotel can add it for you. The devices are loaned on a first come, first serve basis at no charge, and can be used in the lobby or in your guestroom.
Thanks to mobileread for the heads up.
