There are many reasons for the decline of book stores, say experts. As technology is increasing, the world is becoming paperless. It means that now most of the people do not read books, but rather prefer e-books. This is hurting our reading habits, say experts.
This is a fact that decline for the book stores and rise for the the e-books started simultaneously. Reasons are many, some of them are amazon, leisure time going lesser and lesser and has shrinked so much that we do not have even time for ourselves and our family. Another reason is the digital age, that offers so many bright and quick things that we feel bothered to go to a bookstore. Ipad tablets have changed our reading habits. Now instead of having a book in our hand, we have a tablet. There are those who believe that technology has hijacked the whole of the visitable Earth, miniaturized and simplified it, making travel so accessible on a flickering computer screen that there is no need to go anywhere except to your room,” writes Theroux recently on FT.com.
Many think that ipad tablets are a facilitation, a library in it self that have books at its finger tips. It may not have physical touch of a book but it is a fact that you can have access to millions of books in your ipad. The New York Times “Book Review” started “new lists of e-books that now amount to 15 percent of book sales in the U.S. And, Apple says “that number is rapidly rising.”
E-books becoming popular does not mean that the world will become paperless. There will be papers and books, and the book lovers. There will always be people who will prefer books instead of e-books on an ipad tablet. Important thing is, do you feel comfortable?
