E-book future

Reading books on the electronic machine has been the dream of human being from long time ago. On third of April, Apple released the device to make this dream come true, the I-pad. Now, I-pad and Kindle are the top two device of what we call e-book. E-book provides many advantages for readers, writers, and publishing company.
E-book enables us publish and distribute books easily. It is said that about half of people in Japan once dreamed to be a novelist, or a writer. Recently, amateur writer publishing books are difficult. To do this, we have to either win award or self-publish a book which costs a lot of money. However, on Amazon, which has the largest share on distributing e-books, 450 dollars is the cost that writers have to serve. This is extreamly cheap compared to million dollars which an average cost needs to self-publish paper books.
In the Amazon e-book store, they sell 26 dollars hard-cover book for only 9.99 dollars. The average cost of hard-cover books are more than 20 dollars in America. It’s almost one-third of the original price. Somebody might say that selling books in such low price will result a low income. However, the data shows us that these cheap version books sold more enough to cover up the low income than selling 26 dollar books. This is a big advantage for publishing company, selling cheap books and earning more money. Moreover, publishing company doesn’t have to take a risk of copying too much copies.
Readers can carry more than one thousand books with them to anywhere with I-pad. Also, at home, book shelves take a lot of space of our room. I-pad will vacuum the book shelf to its small body. Adding to that, books in the I-pad or Kindle will never get old or get lost. These advantages will surely make book-readers’ life happier.
I-pad will serve us convenient life for these reasons. E-books are the revolution of pulishing. Now, other than Apple or Kindle, more companies all over the world are joining to e-book or e-book reader. They will surely change our lives amazingly.
