Kindles for Breakfast

Was kind of surprised to hear some Kindle news involving the travel industry.  Turns out The Four Seasons Hotel in Washington D.C. is offering its guests something a little more than the local paper to read during breakfast each morning. 

Each guest now has the option to go high-tech as each are offered Kindles that are stocked with newspapers from all over the world.  if you want to read a foreign paper that costs an extra fee, The Four Seasons will take care of it for you.

Kudos to The Four Seasons for the forward thinking and the perks it continues to offer its guests.  The competition for the business traveler in the hotel industry is brutal.  Little extras like allowing the use of a Kindle would mean something to me, even if i was bringing my own Kindle along for the meal.  The Four Seasons really is the standard in luxury accommodations for the business and upscale leisure traveler.

I'm sure this will be an excellent cross promotion tool for Amazon as well.  I don't know one business type who after an introduction and trial session with the Kindle wasn't impressed enough to consider ordering one for themselves.
