During one of his recent flights, L K Advani was shown an “e-reader” by a fellow-passenger that the senior BJP found to be interesting. An avid bibliophile, Advani is now contemplating buying one. Considering that the gadget can store as many as 150 books, it will come in handy when Advani is on tours. The BJP leader is presently in the midst of The Google Story, a gripping account of the behemoth’s evolution, co-authored by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David A Vise and Mark Malseed. John P Kaminski’s The Quotable Jefferson and Subhash Kashyap’s Constitutional Law of India are among other books that he’s been interested in lately. The thick tomes on his table, however, may be a thing of the past once he becomes a proud owner of an e-reader.
