Here are my thoughts on the future of e-reading:
For my
generation, physical books will continue to play a huge part. I have several
books on my Kindle but I am yet to read a single e-book. I prefer reading physical
books. I like to think that e-book readers are extremely handy while
travelling, when you just need to pick it up and go with all your books inside
it. But it never happens that way. Personally, I leave behind the Tablet and take
along a few books.

But
yes, for the next generation [my son's], who is going to read e-books from a very young
age; e-books, audio books, etc will be a way of life. I am also alarmed at the
diminishing attention to a particular activity. In our pursuit to accomplish
too many things together [multi-tasking], we are perpetually distracted. Reading needs
attention. I am sure, this trend will also impact the act of reading. I
wonder if the next generation will find other avenues of reading [ebooks,
augmented reality, any new techno-invention] far more in tune with their
lifestyle.
