New Kindle Commercial and My New Favorite Word: Bibilionecrophilia

What do you think of Kindle's new commercial? I think Amazon's feeling pretty secure with their sales so they've taken a slightly more (passive) aggressive look at bibliophiles and their criticism of the Kindle.

I read an interesting article about the future of print in the Los Angeles Review of Books the other day. Writer, Ben Ehrenreich, coins my new favorite word: bibilionecrophilia.
