Plaidophile

Oh yeah, today for the first time ever while waiting for The Church of Beethoven's weekly show to start, I finally saw something in the wild:

I couldn't help but ask her if she liked it and mentioned I worked on it. She said she loved it a lot. I mentioned I no longer worked at Amazon but am now at [current company] and she said, "Oh, don't they have an ebook reader too?" and I said, "Yeah, but I'm just a little bit biased and I think Kindle's better." She agreed; clearly she'd been shopping around for an ebook device for a while and decided that Kindle's massive content supply and delivery mechanism were more important than [current company]'s aesthetics. (I really wish Amazon would actually work with [current company] since I think a partnership between the two would be quite profitable for both parties. I think [current company] has approached Amazon on many occasions about such a deal, but of course Jeff has his ego...)

The book she was reading seemed to be using the normal Mobipocket font, though, so at that particular time she wasn't making any use of my work specifically. Oh well.
