Okay, so this information is several months old, but I just read an article from The New York Times that declared that E-books are now outselling print books on marketplace website Amazon. If it's news to me, it may be news to you. Here's the article for reference.
Is this an inevitability of a changing industry? Or is it a sign of our very culture being decimated?
With all Borders stores closed down by now, and smaller bookstores disappearing daily, is it only a matter of time before we no longer see print books for sale brand new?
Remember this the next time you download an e-book: Books were once how we measured knowledge; they became a source of revolution. When the government can control the internet, when the corporations are controlled by the government, how long until e-books are spewing out the same "revised" versions of history we see in North Korea?
Okay, done with my conspiracy theory rant for today.
I hate e-books, too..but I never considered revised versions..haha
