As I'm just wondered with my Kindle DX that I got since 3 days. I'm going to start a discussion about the future of the paperbooks.
Since the eBooks have arrived and just got more and more popular, I think that the paperbooks will end. With this, we are going to be more ecological, because we aren't going to produce tons and tons of paper for books.
The eBooks are very nice too because they make people read more, because they are more accessible, in terms of price and in terms of way to get, because you don't need to get in a library, you just enter at the Amazon site or other eBook selling/downloading site and got it, also you can preview the book before buy or download it for free(in case of free books).
With more persons been accessible to books, we are going to have more active readers and much more people with a good cultural base and a very nice level of interpretation and creativity.
In my opinion, the eBooks are the best thing on earth after the creation of the computers and can only add more good things for our readers and future readers.
Merry Christmas and Happy Reading!
