This is an interesting perspective from an author’s point of view about the effect of the e-book on his creation. Myself as an older generation, I cannot see me without an actual paper book on my night table. As somebody said, I am part of the digital immigrant generation as opposite as my own kids, native digital generation:have never known a world without internet or computers.

I still need sometimes to print on paper documents to read…I love the experience of a book: turn the pages, see how much is left to finish a chapter, read the back of the book for recommendation from others, etc. It is not the support (paper book) that I enjoy but the manipulative capability that ebooks don’t offer. Matters of preference, I guess.

Still, I have to say that when an ebook will offer an enhanced experience stimulating my senses, imagination and creativity with music, smells, etc. It might become a whole different perspective. Beyond a more effective and economical physical support to storage a library of books : it might become an holistic adventure.

Reading on Kindle is so seamless that since buying it I have not held a physical book in my hands. It is a wonderful reading experience. The two things I like the most: (1) very easy on the eyes because text on the flat screen is crisp and the text size adjustable, and (2) almost instantaneous look-up of any word via the built-in dictionary. If the dictionary feature was not available, I probably wouldn’t have bought this device. The other features like taking notes and the text-to-speech robo-voice are nice but really not that important.

I wouldn’t be surprised if in five years most books are read on Kindle or similar e-book devices. The Kindle reading experience is much superior.
