101 Gadgets That Changed the World was a TV program that was broadcast on June 15, 2011 on the History Channel.  Kindle was number 52 on this list and is amazing that it was considered important enough to be listed among the other important gadgets.

For those who missed it, it looks like it will be re-aired on Saturday the 18th at 8 p.m. (7 central)

At least, I assume it's p.m. . . . it doesn't really say. . . .check your listings, I guess before setting the recorder.

I would imagine the Kindle was a stand-in for all e-readers.

That is pretty cool that Kindle made it.
