To Read or to E-Read?
by Mark James
Iâm currently reading the novel âSuper Sad True Love Storyâ by
Gary Shteyngart (on my Kindle).
In this inventive, nostalgic, immigrant novel set in the near future,
the hero or anti-hero clings on to an old-fashioned love for books.
The kind of books that are made of paper that you pick up and
put down, independent of batter y power or wireless
connection. Most of the rest of the people in the world of this
novel donât seem to share this book-love, however. In fact, to them
books  âsmellâ and carry an anti-social status.
People in the novel instead prefer to consult, or read from, their âĂ€ppĂ€rĂ€tsâ, devices which can live-stream their ownersâ
thoughts and conversations, as well as, amongst other things, broadcast their âhotnessâ to others. This would appear to be
enough for them and their reading or data consuming interest.
So,with this electronic reading future beckoning, or some other version of it, I
thought it was time to review my own electronic book reading experience to date.
