Definition

  • For the last 20 years, technology forecasters have frequently proclaimed that digital technologies would bring about the end of print books, and every few years they find the need to further qualify or renounce their previous proclamations. While e-books and e-readers, like Amazon's Kindle and Apple's iBooks applications for iPhones and iPads, have made impressive gains toward replacing many individuals' print books, these successes only further demonstrated the fact that whether in print or electronic form, the book is here to stay.
