But even if portable ebook reader are starting to catch on, they aren’t so extensive that they give serious competition for old fashioned books then you think of a book, you still think of cover bound pages instead of an electronic device. Maybe it is a simple matter of exposure. Ebook readers might be in the market, but they are nowhere near the level of iPhones or the Blackberry. We see ads for those products everywhere and almost everyone discussion about them or uses them, but not a lot of people actually discuss about ebook readers or use them a lot. Ironically, they are a technical improvement that isn’t advancing much. Some might see this as a good thing because people are seemly more and more dependent on technology and it seems like only a matter of time before all of life goes digital. The advantage of this is convenience, but the flaw is that we are thinking of more ways to not have to think for ourselves. It is sort of refreshing that people are still risking paper cuts and not opting for painless button pressing.

However, others might point to opportunities we miss when we desire not to advance technologically. adopting ebook readers could potentially save a lot of time and money. Heaps of paper would no longer have to be printed and tons of data could be transmitted in a short time, which would be great for business and education. But somehow the fact remains that as something is gained, something else is inevitably gone. Whether it is for better or for worse, the birth and life of ebook readers already contributes to the downfall of literature as we once knew it.
