Just the other day while sitting in my judge’s law library, I thought to myself that those dusty law books should be made available on Kindle (Amazon’s digital e-book).
How awesome would it be to pick up a Kindle and have the power to search through hundreds of law books without using Lexis, Westlaw, or other traditional means? Aside from the ability to index and set up bookmarks, digital law books can be updated with a simple download, eliminating the use of pocket parts. Moreover, they are cheaper than traditionally bound versions. Just think how easy it would be to get to class with all your law books on a Kindle? Or how nice would it be to have thousands of books at your fingertips while in front of the judge?
Well, it seems as though that day is coming. The Practising Law Institute has started offering its books on Kindle. I sure hope more publishers follow suit. You can read the article here.
