It's a debate we've all been having - just how good are electronic book readers, and what are the chances of them ever replacing the good old fashioned paperback?
Certainly at the Words Worth Reading offices we've seen a division in opinion. Some of us see the real benefits of having access to hundreds of publications (magazines and newspapers included) at the touch of a button. The romantics amongst us however just can't see how an electrical device could possibly replace the smell, touch and comfort of a good old fashioned book.
However, throughout the general reading population there seems to have been a real increase in the number of individuals buying and using electronic reading devices. Indeed, a study completed in France and published in The Bookseller reported that by 2015, 25% of books will be sold in a digital format. As long as they continue to be published in a paperback format too, we really don't mind!
