Working in educational technology as I do, I’ve observed the recent trend toward e-readers and e-books with keen interest. Are e-readers truly the wave of the future? Are printed books really going to die?
Although I’m an avid reader, I’m also a technology enthusiast, so I have welcomed the advent of e-books. However, when I bought my wife an Amazon Kindle last year, I didn’t know how she would react. My wife adores books. Since I first met her in college — where she was majoring in English literature — I have always loved that about her. We don’t have enough bookshelves in the house to accommodate her ever-growing collection. She seems to always have a magazine or a novel in her hand. She’s probably read a book since I started writing this post.
