E-books can be summed up as the next evolutionary step of the paper bound book. With Kindles and i-pads there is a much cooler ways to get your information or enjoy a good read. The traditional paper bound book has resisted change for many years, but now I feel that the paper bound book is going the way of the doo-doo. E-books are not just more versatile than traditional books and they are also more accessible. Instead of ordering a book and waiting for it to get to you or having to go to the store to buy it you can easily download the book in a matter of minutes. In an instant gratification society it just makes sense to make the next revolutionary step in reading. There are the purest that may miss the smell of the pages and the way when people walk into your house they can instantly tell how smart you are by all the books on the shelves. But when they have to move they sure will be thankful. There are new features that allow you take make highlights and notes that you could also do with traditional books. The only difference now is that it much tidier and easier to organize that some chicken scratch you scribbled on a page. The kindle is great because of the way you can read it in natural day light. A lot of reading is done when relaxing outside and the ability to read the screen and have no glare has been the main reason that these E-books may have not been around a long time ago. Either way one little slim piece of technology can now replace a whole bookshelf.
