Will the Electronic Book and Kindles Reader Abolish Libraries?
The electronic book reader definitely has an impact on the amount of hard copy books you need to own or use. By doing so you can easily remove any storage issues at home and how far this extends will depend on the future development.
Amazon’s Kindle has access to a range of over 190,000 books, as well as magazines and newspapers for a number of locations. This means you can purchase enough books to keep you going for a lifetime. You can store around 1500 on the Kindle 2 electronic book reader and up to 3500 on the Kindle DX.
Amazon also archives your purchases so if you need to delete you can always re-download later without needing to re-purchase. This means no more having to buy second copies of books that have been lost or lent to others.
You’ll find books available in all sorts of categories and they will impress even the most cynical searcher. Being able to purchase them through Amazon will also save you money – new release titles are as low as $10 compared to much more in store. You can also contribute to saving the environment by making the need to print hard copy books much lower.
This revolution should send more and more publishers into digital format so they can capitalize on the consumers that use Kindle or similar electronic book readers. On top of this you can also find and read blogs as well as keep one of your own. You can check out the news in your favorite foreign destination if available and even find magazines in the library.
In a minute or less you’ll have access to your newest purchase and you can read to your heart’s content. Whether this means libraries will disappear is unclear. It’s probably not going to happen in the near future but it’ll definitely make home libraries smaller and much less of a fire trap in your house.
