Electronic Books If Gutenberg could see how electronic books, or ereader books, have evolved in the last years, he would want to come back from the afterlife and test this revolution in the book industry.
After having turned upside down, the music, the videogames, and the motion picture industries, digital download technologies and the reader ebook have introduced a major change in how we are reading and learning as human beings.
But how does a reader ebook work? How did it start?
As a first step, it is important to say, that electronic ebooks have been existing almost since the the first personal computer was created and some one decided to copy the content of book into a text file and share it with others computers users. Then with the rise of internet, the books started to be scanned and illegally exchanged over newsgroups, torrents and other file swapping services. Usually in the PDF format, the electronic books would be read on computers or personal digital assistants. During those times, a group of users decided to compile all royalty free books available on the net, in a website called project Gutenberg.
When readers finally saw a reader ebook that looked good and was easy and comfortable to use, stores hundred of books in memory, and came with a long battery life, they started to fly off the shelves.
New versions, like the Kindle reader, have included wireless connectivity and allows for online downloading of books, synchronization of contents across multiplatforms, newspapers and other sources of online information.
