In my last post we spoke about my library project and of me pondering the use of Ebooks in the library project. Thus, in this post we will try to compare Ebooks with paperback books.
Books have been the cornerstone of our society for centuries, especially after the invention of the printing press. However, digital technology has begun to radically change the role of books in our society.
Ebooks allows for paperless reading. Yes, this will definitely be in favour of all those save the planet people as it is a means of preventing deforestation. Although, there are Ebooks Readers it can be read with a variety of other devices such as computers, and even cell phones such as the Apple IPhone. This feature makes the Ebook very portable as it can take up little to no space. You can even fit it in your pocket. It also has the ability for people to interact with it by taking notes or even making the print larger, thus, even attracting the attention of the aged and for those of us that like to have a dictionary, it has one built into it for easy access.
Imagine having thousands of books at your finger tips, walking around with a library of books. This immediacy and easy of access just might attract toady's millennium children who want things instantly.
What do you think? Would Ebooks encourage today’s children to read more?
