Before the Kindle, there was...

The paperback! Yes, the paperback was the book industry phenomenon long before there were Kindles and other e-readers. The Times of London has an interesting article on the history of the paperback here, focusing particularly on the famous Penguin line. (Pictured here is one of the original 1935 covers.)
