L or interesting of the virtual era is the speed with which word travels. Previously, the most effective way to bring you a book to a certain speed was that you throw him over the head and if as is now the first one arrives and then announces (beep intruder and addictive) you would have collected more than bumps and bruises and reading which had receded into the background.
The "Red" allows us to purchase almost anything we want. There used to wait for a family to travel to reach us one title. Today, with an average hours used well, checking online bookstores can buy anything and everything indoors. So I bought "Il Cimitero di Praga" by Umberto Eco and the latest Cozarinsky "The third morning." Velocity, then, as an input and an advantage if managed properly.
With the advent of the Kindle and iBooks are no more timeouts. Buy a book and receive it faster than blowing the nose. The bullet train thing happened to a less finished version of the Star Trek teleporter. That is, the distances became differentiated and touch on is something archaic. Furthermore, the notes were always personal matter, like the underscore. No But that also happens to be a thing of the past. We share everything, sometimes even our own partners, and that is becoming the norm and is no longer a rarity. It seems that with the idea that the world became a huge database of people e-books are awarded the right to do with the intimate act and inviolable (unless one gives the book) the statistics underlined .. .
Surprisingly, as delineated Vila-Matas in his latest article in El País, all attention is on "digital advances, the disquieting future of the Internet, the danger of becoming extinct printed texts , but nobody seems to do much to keep talking with normal books before. " is a hot topic, as fashionable as the CD in the eighties and the miniskirt in the sixties (although in reality and Etruscans, Greeks and Romans had made popular.)
Read what it says Andrei Codrescu, from La Petite Claudine page.
MY KINDLE, SUGAR-COATED CYANIDE
I'm reading a new book I downloaded on my Kindle and I Noticed an Underlined passage. Surely it is a mistake, I think. This is a new book. I do not know about you, but I always hated underlined passages in used books. They derail my private enjoyment.
When somebody offers perception of what's important, something moronic, usually, which is why I always prefer buying books new so I could make my own moronic marks. But moronic or not, it was all between me and my new book.
And this thing on my Kindle is supposed to be new. And then I discovered that the horror doesn't stop with the unwelcomed presence of another reader who's defaced my new book. But it deepens with something called view popular highlights, which will tell you how many morons have underlined before so that not only you do not own the new book you paid for, the entire experience of reading is shattered by the presence of a mob that agitated inside your text like strangers in a train station.
So You Can now add to the ease of downloading an e-book the end of the illusion That it is your book. The end of the privileged relation entre yourself and your book.
