This holiday season electronic books sold more than printed books sales on-line. That eBooks have gained a momentum as it brings in the change in reading habits, is without a doubt. The referenced article below had a interesting take on why things are really changing. Until the tablets came out, an argument offered for printed books was that parents would like to introduce kids with very well illustrated books. Now we have an equivalent to a living book, in almost the same format as a printed book. A tablet is handled much like a book yet can bring in higher value add in terms of living illustration! Illustrations that could be animated, cartoons, videos, movies and what have you! There's no doubt printed books would continue for some time, until a generation who started their reading with tablets/eReaders takes over and the age of the Gutenberg would be over!
