We shouldn't cry over it. Remember when we had a zillion tons of paper archives and it took us for ever to find what we were looking for? Well, times changed and we now have hard drives, floppy discs, compact discs, DVD's, blu-ray discs, USB flash drives, memory cards, etc. Everything to make our lives better and simpler.
E-readres are kitsch. They sell and sell. They make are lives better, I think. Or at least groovy. Kobo knows it, Barnes & Noble knows it, Amazon knows it, Sony knows it. I will lay it on the line: everybody knows it! So don't worry, I won't spill any beans around this.
If you're looking for a lap of luxury experience, you have a bunch of choices. Kobo is one of them. It presents a wide range of e-readers for you: kobo mini, kobo glo, kobo touch, kobo arc. Any of them is a great option on its own. Huge storage capacity, customizable, easy to read experience, light, fast, and you have access to more than 3 million eBooks.
What would you say about changing your way of perceiving the world completely? Sort of a blood taste experience. Because the new technologies not only revolutionize electronics, but your whole being also:
" After years of practice, I can walk into a bookstore
and understand its layout in a few seconds.
I can glance at the spine of a book and make a good guess
at its content from a number of signs"
Umberto Eco
Now you see it: new types of books + new bookstores = new experiences of reading, of being. Perhaps along the e-readers, we go off the deep end to become new beigns.
