The Algonquin Hotel in Manhattan launched an eBooks on Demand program.
The hotel is offering Kindles, digital handheld devices on which electronic books can be read. The devices are loaned at no charge and can be used in guest rooms or the lobby. The Kindle comes loaded with a variety of books, but the hotel will add a book to the device upon request.
A few books written by members of the hotel’s legendary Round Table are pre-loaded on the devices available at The Algonquin such as Fanny Herself by Edna Ferber and Love Conquers All by Robert Benchley.
