Amazon unveiled their technological marvel called the Kindle on November 19, 2007, and this particular device is one of the hottest selling devices on Earth. In fact, Amazon has sold millions of Kindles to consumers, and their sales are not showing any tipping point at the moment. And with the advent of the e-book reader called the Kindle, book manufacturers have started converting their physical books to an electronic version, with hopes of selling these electronic books to people who are using the Kindle.
According to Amazon, they have recently announced that they have sold more e-books than existing hardcover books that are currently circulating in the market. In fact, Amazon has dominated the hardcover book market for the past 15 years, something that the Kindle did in just 3 measly years.
On the other hand, certain groups of people are foretelling that the age of books is ending, whereby future generations of our children might experience the extinction of books. And with more advanced versions of the e-book readers being introduced into the market, the likeliness of an extinction is very probable.
Do you think that the Kindle and e-books will make existing physical books extinct in the near future?
