" Anyone with a smartphone has an entire bookstore in his or her pocket."

From being in this class I have really asked a lot of people of how they prefer to read their books. A lot are coming to ebooks. There are many reasons why and mostly its because of one of the readings this stood out to me.  " Anyone with a smartphone has an entire bookstore in his or her pocket." Andrew Shaffer  We are so busy and are on the go so much that we don't read as often as we should.  Future books will always hold paper back. We are so use to this and books have been around a lot longer then ebooks. 

Book or App?

Apps can bring out so much more that the author wants to share. Books help readers imagine on their own. One thing about me is I have been reading a lot of textbooks because I am a student. I been buying ebooks more because they are a lot cheeper then the paperback version. But they are so boring. If the app brought more to my attention I would learn a lot more. I think the future in ebooks in education can really benefit learning.  Reading the app Alice in the wonderland.  I didn't enjoy it on the ebook. It was more distracting then fun. I just really think it depends on what I am reading to choose if I want an app or a book. 

I think ebooks are fabulous. I hope that they grow and improve for us today. Not just for us as U of U students. Also for children. I want them to learn more then when we did in school. They are our future and they can be more created them we are. If you give a child a tablet and let them learn visually on an tablet. Lets go for it. I also hope that the older generations will buy themselves a tablet and enjoy this technology that is new.
