Reading For A New Era: Ebook Reading Device
We all saw it coming. Digital cameras, digital camcorders, digital music. It was only a matter of time before someone figured out how to make books digital. The EBook reading device was born! Since 2007, when the first highly publicized Ebook reader was released, others have come out of the wood work. Some of them more expensive, other less. They were hailed as ingenious devices. Three years later, more advanced Readers exist!
There a lot of readers out there, so that gives everyone plenty of choices. That doesn’t mean everyone is happy about it. However, the positive outweighs the negative by a wide margin. These devices are definitely increasing in popularity, but it’s not with some debate. Readers, authors and publishers all have one thing in common. None of them can come to a general consensus about the effect the digital age of books will have on the printed book in the years to come.
From a reader’s stand point, the EBook debate is one that is ongoing. Some like the portability of the ebook reading device, and the fact that they can now transport more than two or three books at a time without heavy hard covers weighing them down. They also like being able to try a book out before buying it, a feature that most devices offer wirelessly.
Obsoleteness of the printed book is the argument given by others. They fear the explosion of the ebook and it’s accompanying devices will make it impossible in a few years to find the printed book anywhere. They find the Readers heavy and troublesome. They also cite not being able to curl up lose themselves in the story practical reasons not to get one. A more common problem is the battery life of most devices. Most do not last long enough to read for the full amount the time average reader will.
From the point of view of the author or aspiring writer, the ebook phenomenon can be considered just another strategy to get their book sold. Authors can and do use reading devices to promote their books by offering samples of their for free. Potential readers, then, can read the samples and decide if they want to buy the full book. This how some author get buyers. They hope that the reader will pass on the sample to others, and there get more buyers.
Publishing houses are rising to the occasion boldly. They offer their books in both formats, and let the customers choose. Some even offer the aforementioned samples for review prior to purchase.
Not matter what side you take, the ebook reading device is on the rise. At this rate, we may see an increase in Ebooks in the next few years. What will they come up with next?
