The ebook has been making its way onto the digital scene for the past couple of years. But now we also have digital books and books online that are in a sense sweeping the nation. I found a blog about all things about digital books and all digital pubications. Teleread.org is a site that discusses how to make ebooks and digital media accessible to the average person, someone who isn't so techy.
One article I saw that was cool was about how Japan is bringing digitalized books to its people. The libraries in Japan have been given permission to put over 900 texts online.
All over the world people are beginning to use ebooks in the home, on the go, and in the workplace. On Slate.com, there's an article that talks about how the Kindle will change the world, one book at a time. I think that in 20 years, people will still be reading hard copies of books and some people will use the Kindle. It all depends on preference.
What I Learned

Sean: Since you've been writing about the Kindle, I've noticed more people ruminating on them as well. There seems to be some interesting conversations out there about whether moving to a more digital world is a positive or negative advancement. It's an interesting issue. And what's interesting is that the reaction is coming from people with a lot of different angles.
