I am sure everyone has heard the latest hype about where we will be in the future in regards to printed books. Some speculators say that printed books will no longer be in existence and everything will be read via digital device.
The latest release of the Ditto book has become the e-book reader of the summer. According to an article published by PW daily, Calvin Reid refers to the “Ditto Book as a non-wireless e-book reading device that looks a bit like the Amazon Kindle 2 but has a price ($249) that’s more like that of the Cool-ER, a similar non-wireless e-reading device that debuted at BookExpo America this year. (The Amazon Kindle 2 sells for $359). Like the Kindle, The Ditto Book has a 6-inch black & white e-ink screen; long battery life and can read both text and PDF as well as play MP3 sound files. On the other hand, like the Cool-ER, the Ditto Book offers an expandable SD card slot that kicks its memory up to 2 GB of storage.”
The Ditto Book supports e-pub format titles; the industries open e-publishing format standard and the format in which most e-books will be published going forward. The Ditto is not a wireless device and users will need a computer and USB connection to move their e-books onto the device after downloading them to a laptop or desktop computer, referring to the PW daily article.
Who would have guessed that twenty years ago, we would have said that books would be available on digital devices…
