E-books need no paper for distributiion, thus saving trees and other plants used for this purpose. They also require no binding or shipping and corrections can be made in an instant with the purchasers being alerted. Libraries, which could benefit most, considering their space requirements will, of course, have to wait until more people have this technology for downloading; although they might provide a few library-owned e-books for checking out. I suppose when books first appeared, people didn't want to give up having scrolls since they don't require turning pages. ]]>Dec 28th 2009 5:14PM
