Thanks, mimikoh! I hadn't seen that blurb. (Here's an excerpt:)
In keeping with the hotel’s literary history, the Algonquin’s eBooks on Demand offers Kindles loaded with a variety of best-sellers, modern classics, and, of course, books penned by the hotel’s Round Table members such as: Fanny Herself and Buttered Side Down, by Edna Ferber and Love Conquers All by Robert Benchley. Additional titles can be added upon guests’ request. Kindles are loaned on a first come, first serve basis for use in the hotel’s legendary lobby or in the comfort of one’s own guest room.
Note: we have another thread going on this topic, so I'll be merging this thread over there shortly. Will lock this one for now. Here's the thread:
