The electronic book

It has been said several times that the paper is about to die. It is closer to fiction than reality. The books, as we have understood them to this day, still have a long life.

Thanks to the Internet, more and more documentation is available to users. But when it comes to reading long things, the computer has not yet anticipated the role. However, the network has greatly changed its publishing techniques, as well as its reading habits.

Kindle, Sony Reader and similar devices are becoming more and more popular. Unlike computer screens, these devices use electronic ink, are easy to read, and don’t weigh your eyes as much.

It can be said that almost a complete library can be carried on such a device. Many of these contents can be downloaded from the Internet. Some have to be paid, and others are free.

Do you remember when we used discs, CDs and cassettes to listen to music instead of MP3? Well, for many readers, the past may soon be the time when books filled the shelves.
