Kindle, Kindle, Kindle…

Jeff Bezos loves to read books –that much is clear. The founder of Amazon.com, an online bookseller that now flogs everything from gourmet food to power tools, Bezos is such a voracious reader that he even claims to have finished Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s “The Black Swan,” perhaps the most-bought least-completed book since Stephen Hawking’s “A Brief History of Time.”

His wife is a novelist. And he is busily indoctrinating his children, too, not just in the habit of reading but in his other passion, Star Trek: He gives them novels about the adventures of the Starship Enterprise.

In so doing, he claims to be boldly going where no man has gone before: The Bezos offspring read these books not on paper, but on Amazon’s new electronic-book reader, the Kindle.
