I think that an e-book is a very good and useful device because you can read any book you want everywhere you want. ***** Ever new electronic gadgets enter our lives and become indispensable. Nowadays we cannot imagine our lives without cell phones or credit cards. It will probably happen with the Kindle and similar gadgets. Indeed, they are light portable things with options of adjusting the letter size or the screen brightness, and with more unthinkable opportunities to come. Instead of bringing a dozen books to school it’s enough to take one Kindle. Besides, considering the paper book prices, it will be cheaper to unload a book from the internet. These are big pluses, but on the other hand we are used to holding a material book in our hand, to turning pages, looking at the book-cover, and suchlike. So, maybe paper books will stay with us for a while before becoming museum exhibits. Time will show.
