Here is a review of the some of the more popular ebook reader apps:

What he showed us in 1984 is eerily similar to what the Democrat left and their corporate supporters are imposing on us right now. Regardless of what political philosophy he wanted to associate the outcomes of 1984 with, it is clearly your side that produces these outcomes.
