information about ebooks and how to change our way of reading and writing The Amazon Kindle ebook has been extremely successful in the United States and the Wall Street Journal publishes this week a and interesting article on the Kindle and functions as this type of product can transform our reading habits. Below we offer a summary of the article in Spanish. We all remember some point in the implementation of a technology represented a revolution in our lives, moments when the magic touch of a button something happens and we realize at that moment, that the rules have changed forever. Something like that happens with the Kindle electronic book reader, Amazon, with which you can be reading anywhere and suddenly remember a work and dispose of it in a couple of minutes with a few clicks, downloads (priced ) of Amazon's online store. After this it is clear that migration from the book on paper to the digital version will not be a simple change of ink per pixel, but is likely to significantly change the way we read, write and sell books. We facilitate the purchase, but at the same time also make it easier to stop reading them, and expand the universe of books available to us and transform the solitary act of reading into something much more social allow writers and lesser-known publishers sell books but could also end up undermining some of the key attributes that have been associated with the reading of books for over 500 years.

We have terabytes of information available to us in the form of digital text pages on which we sail through hyperlinks, but we move more and more knowledge of the most valuable archive of humanity: the tens of millions of books published since the epoch Gutenberg, partly because these books have been for a long time, excluded from the Google index. However, there are two good reasons to believe that this imbalance will be temporary and that is about to end. on the one hand, the success of Kindle, the electronic book reader from Amazon, and, second, the maturation of the book search service, Google Book Search, Google, which currently provides about 10 million titles, including books that include many little known and out of print works that Google has scanned. But if we are about to rewrite the future, the big question is: How 'The ability to search for something immediately in digital versions of millions of books will make it much easier to find any information, so it is likely that proliferation of ideas and innovation flourish, just as happened in the years after Gutenberg's invention. We have a digital library of everything we've read over our lives of children, in adolescence, as college students and adult life, and you can search on every word of that library.
