Twenty first century readers are more specific. No wonder their world is also very very specific. There are no software professionals

They don’t want to waste their time going through hundreds of pages and millions of words. So the reading habits have changed a lot. Let us see what internet offers for the new generation readers.The old soldiers who want to read those classics and dramas of the ester years online shops cater for variety of book shops. You name any book old rare or vanished no matter you will find in these sites. Online book shops for rare old printed books. The reach is world wide and language and countries are no problem. For the PDF readers and E-book readers the internet is a paradise. A lot of titles may be millions of title are available for very low prices. The books are practically free if they are not free. You can download the books immediately or get it on a CD. The huge cost of printing and postage is eliminated. The e-books are very easy to store and easy to read. You can ask your computer to read your books for you. For students and teachers it is easy to make presentations and abstracts as many of e-books allow copy paste.The other feature greatly enhance reading is thumb nail property. You can locate the chapter or page of your book in a second. You can look for key words and locate your topics very easy. The population using e-books for reference and studies the idea of key words, tags and thumb nails greatly enhance their reading experience. The amount of diagrams and schemes an e-book can carry is far above that of conventional books. Of course you can have few pages printed and available for presentations and readouts.Yes the future is for e-books and PDF books.
