For those like me who love their books in print will be pleased with this article in today's edition of The Sydney Morning Herald (Jan 19 2015).
Sales of print books in 2014 were up in the lead-up to Christmas while E-Readers struggle to sell. Not to mention, E-Readers have their own threats to competition like Tablets and smartphones. Also they are quite durable tools with long battery life. Why replace something thats not broken?
It feels like as well E-Readers don't get as much attention in ads and catalogues like they did even a year ago.
Meanwhile, The Washington Post, published an article about the case against E-Readers. If there is one thing that I agree with in terms of print over electronic text, is the interaction with the text. One can absorb information more easily.
Christian News magazine The Philadelphia Trumpet featured an article in its January edition also presenting the case for print over electronic text, but with a Christian perspective. One point of interest is being able to highlight and annotate text to help you understand what is being written.
As I have pointed out in the past, there is room for E-Books and Printed Books.
