The Digital Future Of Books.

Ibook On Ipad
Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Inc, intoducing the new application on ipad called the ibook, and explaining how it is used and how simple it could be be to download ebooks right on our ipad. He also discusses the advantages of the innovation. The "book shelf" in the application organizes and shows the books downloaded. By a direct click on the book we can sit, read and tap on the screen to flip the pages. The font can be also edited for people that have difficulties with printed books that have small fonts. It is certainly a great online bookstore, and the advantages of ebooks seem to exceed the disadvantages of it in one way or another. With a tap we are able to save time and power of actually driving to a book store to buy a book.  For many people they still prefer the use of traditional books because they require no batteries or power supply, no complex software, and no period of waiting until a machine warms up. In my opinion i think this is a great technology, but im still not sure if traditional books will cease to exist in the future.
