How many of us would exchange what we have now – a row of books in a bookcase, or a pile of magazines on the coffee table – for a row of little screens? For many of us, the idea of Sunday morning without a cup of coffee and a pile of newspapers is impossible. Nevertheless, by the time e-books have become as widely available as printed ones, it is likely that at least some of us will have changed our minds.

There is another problem, too, which has nothing to do with technology. People simply prefer paper. It doesn’t matter how many books, magazines or newspapers are produced – we never stop buying them. It seems that we like the feel of books and magazines – we like to put them in our bags or pockets and take them out on the bus or the train on the way to work. We like to sit and read in the park or on the beach.

It took 25 hours for Associated Press to download Stephen King’s story. This is because lack of band width makes it very slow to send material, especially pictures, over the Internet.

What is more, it takes much longer for us to read on the net.

Well, is this really the end of the book and the newspaper? I doubt it, and it seems that even Stephen King agrees. Despite his success on the Internet, he does not seem to think anything can replace the book! This is partly because, although we like to think that technology is capable of anything, it isn’t. At least, not yet!

Stephen King, the best-selling writer of horror books, posted his newest short story on the Internet and it sold more copies in its first days than many of his printed novels had.

It is certainly a question that we are going to have to think about soon. Technology produces new products every day and the publishing industry is already showing great interest in the future of the e-book.

A few years ago, nobody could have imagined buying a whole dictionary or encyclopedia on CD-Rom – but we do now, and it’s a booming business.
Are e-books set to take over from the printed word? Well, some multimedia companies are predicting that, in a few years’ time, production of newspapers and magazines will have been halved, as we will be turning to our computers to get the latest news.
