Catching up with the trend.......e-Book

Imagine one day we have to pay a lot of money to enjoy the paper tactile feel, the smell of the printing ink and the dog-eared pages. It's funny that I suddenly felt so old in the world of Einstein. It's relativity stupid. Having living in the paper world for so long, it's hard to move on. But then there is no point to resist something about to pass a tipping point. A point that passes a threshold that spreads like wildfire.

e-book market has surpassed US $ 500 million mark in the US. The trade related to e-book is passing US $ 2 billion. e-book penetration rate is reaching about 20%. Give it another a few more years, Star Trek generation will be here.

Most of the books that we read in English probably are coming from the USA. The train is coming, it's either I learn to adapt or I'll have nothing to read or pay a lot more money as a luxury indulgence. The writing is on the wall!

I resolute to read at least one e-book before 11:59 pm, December 31, 2011.

Good night.
