With Amazon and Barnes and Nobles both trying to out-do each other with the #1 ebook reader, it makes me wonder what the future of books is going to be. I've already read articles in Wired Magazine about how ebooks will become the norm and physical books will be quaint antiques.
If that's the case, then what about all the features that went along with physical books? The cover page, the copywrite page, but more than just those; what about indentation?
I've seen more and more e-books or at least e-reading that has no indentation. Am I the only one who has noticed this? Anyways, I thought I would put the question out there for you who have been wondering the same thing.
I think changes are going to happen. I believe the cover page and like will be slimmed down and pretty things like indention will slowly vanish if not be replaced by extra line breaks. I'm not so sure if that's a good thing. Personally, it gives the reading a completely different flow with tons of line breaks.
Also, I'd like to add to this post that I did pick up a BN Nook and I love it. I did have one hang-up: the only book I really paid for and currently reading is the only one that would not download properly. But after spending 40 minutes on their 1-800 help line a solution was figured and my faith was put back into the device, which otherwise functions perfectly and is a joy to read.
