Residents and visitors in beautiful Grenoble, France will never be at a loss for reading material thanks to a new project sponsored by the city government and local publisher Short Edition. Clever little orange and black terminals that dispense short stories are popping up all around the city. Each machine delivers a three minute story on a 8 by 60 centimeter strip that looks like a shop receipt. The attractive short edition venders are already in the tourist offices, city hall, libraries and shopping centers.
