When Steven King published his book Riding the Bullet, around two million people downloaded it from the Internet within hours.It was the first time that an electronic book had done big business, and it was a wake-up call for the publishing industry.
An electronic book, or e-book, is simply a version of a book that allows you to store and display it digitally.There are already thousands of classic and best-selling titles available on websites such as
ebooks.com.
E-book technology allows you to carry around a whole library in a small unit.You can also highlight a word to bring up its definition or increase the font size if you have had bad eyesight.In fact, e-book readers are being developed for people who are visually impaired or dyslexic.
Another advantage is that it let you buy books in segments and carry them around easily, which should appeal to students.In fact, the University of South Dakota is planning to give hand-held devices to all its students to help them in their study.
However, for all this, the current e-book readers are unlikely to make it big.A recent report predicted sales of just 1.9 million in the next 5 years.And the reason? E-books are more difficult to read and they are just not as attractive as the printed word.
