EBooks

In this new technological age, very few things are left how they are, and in the past few years one of our oldest things, the book, has finally been taken by technology. The EBook is an electronic book that can store up to thousands of different books on a tiny pad and last year for every one hundred paperback books sold, 115 EBooks are sold. Many people view this as a bad thing as the book is sacred but in my personal opinion if the EBook will make more people read than it is a very good thing because it will help more people to become more cultured.

People say that soon the book will die out but in my opinion Paperbacks are going nowhere. For many reasons, personally i will always chose a physical book as i like a momento of what I've read and there is nothing quite like the feeling of a book in your hands. There are also the advantages of going to the library and renting books without having to pay for them, which one can not do with an EBook.

Some of the most popular EBooks are the Amazon Kindle and the Sony EReader, the kindle probably being the more popular of the two as it has a wider selection of books and is cheaper and far nicer to read on. The IPad too has a reading feature although I find the strong light on the IPad quite harsh on the eyes.

The Ebook is one of the most popular spins on such of an sacred and classic object and think the Paperback as well as the EBook will stand the test of time.
