Estos son 10 razones porque "e-books" son más mejor de los libros originales.

1. They're quicker to obtain. If you want specific information and it's available in a book, you can purchase an eBook and download it immediately. Instead of waiting for a printed book to be delivered, you can assess this information now.

2. eBooks are more easily updated and upgraded. Information changes rapidly today. Books on many subjects can become dated very quickly. eBooks can be easily and quickly kept up to date. When you order an eBook, it can be the most up-to-the-minute information available.

3. You usually get far more than just the book. Most eBooks are sold with bonuses and related information that usually don't come with the purchase of a traditional book. You might pay the same or even a bit more for an eBook, but you usually get more, too.

4. eBooks take up less space. Instead of a bulky library, you can fit literally thousands of books on your computer. It also makes it easier to share this information with family and coworkers.

5. eBooks don't use up trees. Except when you print one out--something I usually do for booklets and special reports--eBooks use very few natural resources. We save trees and help reduce pollution from pulp mills.

6. They're more portable. You can have quick and easy access to hundreds of books on your desktop computer, notebook or eBook reader. They're much easier to take with you than traditional tomes.

7. References can be hot-linked. Easy links to Web sites and other references can be placed in an electronic book. While reading, you can click on hot links to other places to find out more. With the proliferation of wireless networks, this will become even more useful.

8. You can custom brand them. Other people's eBooks can be branded with your name and you can allow others to brand YOUR eBooks with THEIR name. There are many viral eBooks and reports that the creators will often allow you to give away or sell, with your name or company's name shown on the cover or linked at the end.

9. You can do global searches and find information quickly. When you're looking for certain information within a book, you can easily find it using the find feature. It saves you time and aggravation looking for something in particular.

10. The technology will get better. This is an emerging technology and people are often slow to change. But as the quality of monitors improve and become more compact and mobile, more and more we'll be reading electronic books.

Google y la futura para los libros...

http://www.nybooks.com/articles/22281
Para mi, este articulo fue tan interesante porque estoy estudiando este tipo de información en un otro clase de mio que se llama "U.S Electronic Media".
En mi libro dice que la "nueva cosa" es los libros digitales. Es una idea poco diferente de los libros "online" que google publicó. Creo que lo que google está haciendo es una buena idea, especialmente para los estudiantes que necesitan usar los libros para los ensayos o las presentaciones. A mi no me gusta ir al biblioteca, me da miedo porque hay tantos libros y no se donde empezar a buscar.
Pero, la cosa que mi libro habla de es los libros digitales. Es un "libro" pero no tiene paginas. Es como una computadora puequeña. Una persona puede "download" qualquier libro en su "libro digital" y cuando lee todo el libro, puede "downlaod" un otro. Pienso que es una invención interesante, pero no creo que es necesario. Pienso que un libro solo es un libro si tiene paginas. Los paginas tiene un olor especifico. PIenso que "los libros digitales" son unas cosas que podemos vivir sin.
Este articulo describe que es un "e-book" (No lo ví antes)

"la transmisión de la plabra.

La escritura es un sistema de representación gráfica de una lengua, por medio de signos grabados o dibujados sobre un soporte. Es un método de comunicación humana que se realiza por medio de signos visuales que constituyen un sistema. Un sistema de escritura puede ser completo o incompleto; es completo el que puede expresar sin ambigüedad todo lo que puede manifestar y decir una lengua determinada. Las primeras técnicas de escritura se remontan al 4000 a. C.
La invención de la escritura corresponde a un pasaje de la prehistoria en una transición de miles de años.

Pienso que soy la parte del lapiz que se llama "wood" o "would".  Creo que esta metáfora es la verdad y es muy interesante.

Pienso de todo de eso es muy interesante porque he visitado las mayas en las montañas de Guatemala.  Hace cinco años, pero pienso que hablan  queche?? porque tenían que traducir lo que estaban dicho dos veces. Era muy interesante porque cuando pienso en Guatemala, pienso que es un lugar en donde se hablan español pero no es la verdad por mucha de la gente.
