隨著科技的發展，下載書的平台愈來愈多元也越來越方便，

大家還會想要買實體書嗎?

科技的發展究竟是加速了書的發展或是衰退?

電子書會取代傳統書籍嗎?

因為咩塔自己看書量很大(平均一天一本書)

今天看到這個新聞，很有感觸

因為我自己現在買書量也沒有再像以前那麼大了

我自己個人的看法是隨著消費者使用網路習慣的改變

未來電子書應該會成為主流

如同網路購物一樣現在已經成為很多人的習慣了

但是實體書也仍然會有存在的空間

如同現在雖然很多人習慣網購，但是實體店面仍然有存在的必要性

再說一直看電腦或手機的電子書

我眼睛會超級酸耶XD

如果有想要認真研讀的書籍，還是會想要去書局買書回來專研啦

大家覺得呢?

Digital distraction
Competition from mobile devices is one reason for Kindle sales levelling off.
"With mobile phones, screens are so much bigger, and the experience not as garish as it used to be," says Mr Hinks.
But although smartphones are convenient - you can buy and download a book in seconds - they can also be very distracting, posing an added challenge to e-book sellers.
Books on electronic devices "compete with games, news, and social media, and so need to be slicker," says Laura Summers, co-founder of BookMachine, a popular publishing networking website.
To hook people into reading, another start-up, Rook, is offering access to free e-books at wi-fi hotspots, such as London Underground stations, participating coffee shops and retailers.
"By the time they have to leave and go off about their life", says co-founder Curtis Moran, "they'll be so hooked into the book they're going to have to buy it."
He compares his start-up to a traditional bookshop, where you can sit and read for as long as you wish, but have to pay if you want to take the book with you.
So the book isn't dead; technology is simply helping it evolve beyond its physical confines.
Long live the book.
