It seems that ebooks keep popping up in one way or another in this course. One question I’ve had, that many other people probably have as well, is whether or not this form of technology will ever end up fully overtaking physical books. It certainly seems that the ebook industry is rapidly growing, especially with the exponential growth in tablet device sales that we have seen in the past few years. However, one could also argue that the book has become such an ingrained part of society that rather than supplanting them, ebooks will instead coexist with their predecessors. This is a question that at the present time, cannot be fully answered. We must wait and see how the market develops before we will know for sure. It is likely that we will not be able to make informed predictions for many more years.
Also, I’ve posted the link for the twitter account Horse Ebooks. This is a spam account with a random letter generator, whose purpose is to promote low-quality ebooks. However, it has gained popularity over the internet for the ridiculous messages its random generator comes out with. Check it out and tell me what you think.
