Has not yet reached the twilight of the shelves

I will confess that my life as a reader is chaotic. Much more I'd like to read novel, but it seems that my tastes and needs are ultimately opting for the test. It may be the only books I read, what I plead guilty, but the fact is that in books and other literary styles and areas, the books keep piling up and gathering dust. Three years ago I bought my last shelf and now, in other circumstances, consider that it is time to rethink the purchase of another, but the shelves are emerging as the future obsolete object, something our children, or children of our children will see as something completely stale.

Yes, I thought about buying an ebook, an electronic book or an electronic reading device, maybe too many synonyms for different things, for dates relatively close, maybe Christmas. I figured with my countless books downloaded from the Web and with the scientific articles I've been collecting over time, located in one place and occupying the same site. Also I could see buying new books through online bookstores such a crazy idea when nothing poses Amazon to sell books outside the U.S.. So do not surprised when I looked at my shelves stuck in a past better and enjoying a better life, while moving my library with me to the subway or at work, travel or waiting times at a device level and comfortable to read.

However, these electronic geniuses are not yet ready for all users of the traditional book. Amazon developed a pilot program testing its Kindle device in five American universities and the results were not too positive. In fact, one of the 300 students who took academic tasks with the tool he stated that "failure by far is slow and is a horror interact with it." Teachers who have also not been benevolent to the Kindle DX, which still is considered unsuitable for university life, and say it is hard to make a quick paragraphs or parts of texts, and pages no numbering of the Kindle, what students makes it difficult to have time to include quotes in their jobs. "

So maybe my imagination took flight, maybe too high for a while, but I realized that the market is not yet mature enough for me to make an expenditure of about 250 € on an object with great potential and enjoy a rapid change over a short period of time. That is, I think the ebook still does not meet my needs, so we'll wait for its next evolution. You may have luck and that by then, still has not bought enough books to fill another shelf. I hope they hurry.
