Reading in the time of e-Readers !

As Amazon created a technology for carrying huge number of books in just one hand, Kindle,the e-book tablet , became a big hit among reader's genre.It seem to be a logical
transmutation for the voracious readers who face difficulty in packing their bag packs filled with books while travelling or going for a business trip.
A reader searches out for the pages of his reading book, even when he gets few minutes of leisure during his working hours.This grey coloured tablet won't actually hurt ur wrist and would easily fit in your handbag to fulfill the thirst of reading.

Many people, though advanced find difficulty in negotiating with this new technology for its not colourful rather a poor cousin of iPad.Neither has it got any advanced interface for installing exciting applications nor it is a touch screen. It doesnot have in-built light for the screen so even being a technologically skilled gadget,you can't afford reading your favourite article or story when the light's have gone.

                                 But if the passion strives for reading,then kindle is the best option. You need not have to bother about carrying huge books,yellowing of pages or botheration of protecting your books from termites. Then there are many books those are not available in the market for either the demand is low or has got exhausted from the market. Such frustrations get lowered with buying e-books from internet and reading them directly on this gadget. Though many books are available for free over internet,many of them have been restricted by authors to be sold as e-books in order to stop piracy. Author J K Rowling stands dead against for selling the Harry potter series as e-books.
        Traditional readers would still have hesitations and problems in reading from a tablet. Though one can highlight or change text sizes in kindle,know the percentage of pages read and to be read, but people would still crave for the satisfaction they get by scribbling on the pages,holding a book in their hand or smelling the pages while turning to a new one.
       The very meaning of reading lies in its writings and not on the medium by which its read.So,it be on kindle or on paper, the passion and eagerness of reading an article or a story, full of content and leading to an imaginative comprehension about the situation, is what stands as a necessity for a man hungry for books.
