Are e-books the new newspapers?
Found on BBC News on Friday, 17 April 2009
Electronic book readers are still a minority pursuit for book lovers, but the devices have the potential to become the norm one day.
Struggling newspapers could be offered a lifeline by the new format - especially as the devices' tech is developing to include colour and flexible displays.
The main drawback comes down to price, because e-books are still not cheap.
As long as e-books won't mimic a real book, they won't catch on. Scolling up and down on a flat TFT panel just isn't the same as turning over a page.
