The Importance of E-Books

The importance of e-books cannot be overlooked. In their latest book, Five Regions of the Future, Joel A. Barker and Scott Erickson describe the e-book as a “universal technology”—one that will be used by many diverse groups.

In their vision, the e-book is an electronic device that displays text and pictures on a lightweight, illuminated thin screen.

E-books can carry and access enormous amounts of information easily. They replace paper books and save precious resources while providing access to information and entertainment. E-books make it easier for authors to be “published.” And e-books allow inexpensive and easy access to the wisdom of all civilizations.
