The eBook versus the traditional: Fierce competition or obvious winner?
Thursday, September 17th, 2009
I love visiting the library. Some may not know this, but libraries are is still open. Libraries remind me of my childhood when I sat on the mat and listened to stories read by an elderly lady whose name escapes me but whose face I’ll always remember. The eBook phenomenon is a fairly recent development and millions of people are opting to download their favourite eBook instead of buying the paperback novel from their local bookstore or checking them out of the library. Have the masses replaced their books for screens because of money constraints, time limitations or because the availability of books online is instant and never-ending?
