Books will never die...

Before Amazon reduced the price of kindle by 10%, thereas some kind of worrisome from kindle’s future and criticism to reading through it especially from people who can’t abandon their books and they have a strong relation with it. Many journalists and writers talked about kindle, and although they showed that it is a useful gadget, they were biased toward books. For example, in Wall Street Journal “Information Age” column, Journal big cheese L. Gordon Crovitz said: “Perhaps a new digital device like the Kindle can help us regain the attention spans earlier devices helped us lose.” Maybe this could become a great era for books, or more accurately for the future of words that for centuries could be delivered only in book form.” However, he stressed on the importance of books and the luxury one feels when reading a book and not through a device or through e-books. The importance lies in the ideas and innovations books supply. . But “to expect future generations to be satisfied with printed books is like expecting the BlackBerry users of today to start communicating by writing letters, stuffing envelopes and licking stamps.” This is really an interesting comparison that shows the way people are linked to books, and the un ability to exchange the experience of reading through it even if kindle-the best and full e-book reader can provide the best experience to many.
