The Kindle is a product that has made history today. It is available globally to anyone who wishes to take advantage of e-book reading technology.
Today’s e-book revolution brings many in the field back to the 15th century. Scrolls were replaced by books and the masses began to become literate. The library of the future will contain e-book readers and it will do its job.
