Suzi LeVine, the US Ambassador to Switzerland & Liechtenstein, became the first ambassador to be sworn in with a Kindle.
In her swearing in ceremony last week, LeVine placed her hand on an eBook edition of the U.S. Constitution stored which was opened on a Kindle. U.S. Embassy London tweeted the event:
