What Digital Devices Are Part of Your Life?
I just landed in Berlin for the FIPP DPC program that starts Monday. It’s a five day program where I get to preview programs and discussions with a small group of European publishers that I will also be presenting at our April Napa Summit. As I roll a session on Managing Digital Transformation around in my head, I keep thinking about something Patty Seybold wrote about her love affair with her Kindle eReader.
“I’m a Kindle devotee. I use it to read novels primarily. It’s wonderful to be able to carry a whole slew of books around in a lightweight eReader and then be able to download a new book, or newspaper or journal article on demand. I cuddle up on bed with my Kindle every night. I read it in the bathtub too (in its ZipLock bag I use just in case). But it would be nice to be able to have color illustrations and animation and the kinds of things that Apple is so good at,” said Patty.

As I sat in a hot bath in the Art’otel today, wishing I had a ZipLock for my iPhone, I realized I need more digital device stories from users and online publishers to add color to our upcoming discussions in Napa. So, hit me with your best stuff in the comments section below… tell me how digital devices have already become a part of your life that you would not want to do without… and feel free to share what you think is coming in the near future that excites you.
I plan to ask Patty to elaborate on her Kindle romance in the Napa sessions, let me know if you’d like to be part of those discussions, too.
See you Napa in just 6 weeks and 2 days.
I carry my Kindle everywhere! I don’t buy a purse unless it is Kindle-friendly. Yesterday I found myself waiting in a huge long line at my local Micro Center. No problem! I whipped out the Kindle and finished the short story I had started reading the day before.
