The company E Books note themselves as a "vast range of ebooks from the world's leading academic, popular and professional publishers." Electronic books, commonly referred to as "E Books" may be read on PCs, Macs, Sony Readers and Mobile Phones. On the E Books web site, various works of literature can be searched by author, title, ISBN or keywords. Like any other online bookstore, E Books promotes "Special Offers." They also highlight current best sellers on the sidebar, in hopes of helping you find a worthwhile read for each customer.
In my opinion, this emerging technology will be very easily adapted by society. Many people already buy songs and ringtones off of their various cellphones and computers. If I think about our generation, it is easy to see how marketable this new technology is to them. We love the fact that we can get anything we need at the click of a button. Communication is instant. No longer will we anticipate our favorite classic to arrive in the mail: We will have it instantly with electronic books.
If our society conforms to reading literature solely on the internet, will libraries be non-existent? A library is a thought-provoking learning center that stimulates intelligence and outside-the-box thoughts from people. Although the internet can have the same effect at times, the idea of curling up with a cup of coffee and your favorite book on a rainy day seems simply irreplaceable.

I totally agree. If books become more electronically available than in paper form, I think I would really miss how books smell. Unfortunately, I think the transition to the electronic format is inevitable for future generations.
