Doesn’t this ad just seem wrong? How do you think most of those dead writers would feel about being stuffed into a Kindle? I imagine some would be all about new forms of communication, but Poe doesn’t strike me as one of them. Jane Austen would be a deft Twitterer (tweeter, whatever), for example (too bad someone who doesn’t use it has nabbed @JaneAusten). I find her obnoxious, but you know she’d give Perez Hilton (@perezhilton) a run for his money.
But Edgar Allan Poe, I don’t think he’d want anything to do with new fangled techmrology. Redo the ad with Jane, Amazon.
