All of us love books.Recently we had a two week long books carnival in kolkata named "book fair".While roaming around book shops I was wondering about what would be the future of this fair after say ten years.Whether the crowd will be so patient and tolerant then also to overlook dusts, claustrophobic stalls ,near stampede situation for the sake of books.Given the alternative that ebook and ebook reader will provide to the reader its least likely that people will rush to book fair in the same number they do today.Electronic books or ebooks are also called digital books are e-texts which forms the digital media equivalent of conventional printed books.E-books are read on dedicated hardware devices.computers and mobile phones can also be used to read e-books.E-books can be in different formats html,pdf,doc.Dedicated e-book readers use e-ink technology.This e-ink can imitate the look of a printed work.Many of you must have felt irritated while going through a long text on a computer screen.But due to this e-ink technology in an e-book reader our eyes will not be strained.At present many e-book readers are available.Among then amazon kindle and sony e-book reader are most popular.Last but not the least I am planning to buy an amazon kindle sooner than later!!
