3、tences with the information given in the passage. Here comes the e-book revolutionAt what temperature do electronic books catch fire? Were going to find out sometime throbablyis year. E-book sales are about to ignite.On Monday, Amazon is expected to unveil a new version of its Kindle reader. It will
4、 probably be a lot better and a little cheaper than the first version. But the real news already broke this week: A company spokesman announced that Amazon plans to offer Kindle books on Cell Phones.This news countered Googles announcement that the 1.5 million public domain books available on its Go
5、ogle Book Search offering will soon be available (free,of course) via a new Cell Phone application.I believe that Cell Phones will quickly outpace the dedicated e-book readers, including the Kindles, as the platform of choice for e-book readers. Leading the pack? The iPhone,ironically.Its worth noth
6、ing that Amazon sold more Kindles (at least 500,000) in its first year of sales than Apple sold iPods in its first year (378,000).Apple may not understand the value of e-books, but iPhone users will embrace them anyway. The reason is simple:The iPhone has a huge, high-quality screen. And its user ba
7、se includes millions of people who love to do everything on their iPhones, including reading, which theyre already doing with online content.I (and others) have predicting for some time that Apple will ship a killer tablet at some point. This device, I believe, will have the iPhone user interface an
8、d a super high-quality screen. It will be ideal for reading e-books as well.Why people will read e-booksJust because e-books are available on better (the new Kindle) and more (all Cell Phones) devices doesnt mean people will read them. But mark my words, read them they will. Six trends will conspire
9、(共同促成) over the next year to drive e-book reading to levels that will surprise just about everybody.1. The economyThe economy is in the tank, and people are looking to cut costs any way they can. An Amazon Kindle pays for itself after the purchase of 20 or 30 books, then starts paying dividends. You
10、 save big on books, magazines and newspapers. These savings will grow even more attractive as the recession deepens.2. The environment.Interest in protecting the environment just keeps growing and growing. The idea of getting a daily newspaper or a weekly or monthly magazine on paper seems incredibl
11、y wasteful to the point of decadence. Environmental consciousness will drive e-book acceptance.3.A publishing revolution.The book publishing industry is one of the most backward, mustry, out-of-date businesses in our economy. While every other kind of information moves at the speed of light, the pro
12、cess of publishing a book is like something from the Middle Ages. For authors, it can take months to even find a literary agent willing to represent their work. Then the agent takes months to find a publishers. Then it takes ages for the publishing company to get the book out there.People are alread
13、y circumventing(设法回避) all this by self-publishing. The self-publishing industry is the only area of paper-book publishing thats thriving right now. Soon enough, a huge number of authors are finally going to get fed up with the publishing industry and just self-publishing electronically. Theyll hire
14、their own freelance editors, and do the marketing themselves. The publication of a finished manuscript will take minutes, rather than months.Old-school thinkers in the publishing industry will lament(悲叹) the slap-dash nature of self-publishing e-books, and sniff that books are on longer published wi
15、th the quality and care that they used to. (Never mind that book publishers abandoned high standards years ago in previous cost-cutting initiatives.) The world will pass them by as the book industry undergoes the same transition that happened with the media and blogs.First, the media didnt understan
16、d blogs. Then they invalidated them. Then they accepted them. And now blogs are where the credibility is. Every columnist and reporter has a blog, and now major TV news programs are built around the opinions of bloggers. A similar transformation will take place about the credibility of self-publishe
17、d and electronic books.4.The rise in aggressive e-book marketing.Like the move from silent pictures to “talkies,” the transition to electronic publishing will prove fatal to laggards. Those aggressively pursuing and developing e-books will rise to take control of the publishing industry. Part of thi
18、s revolution will happen in e-book marketing.The new generation of e-book publishers will leverage social media,contextual advertising and other innovations.For anyone who spends time online, specific e-book titles will increasingly be advertised and marketed and ingegrated into other content.E-book
19、, now mostly invisible, will soon be everywhere.5.A rise in books written for electronic reading.The shift from print to electronic will change the nature of the book itself. Many books will be shorter. Theyll be more timely and culturally relevant. Theyll be more colorfully and engagingly written.
20、And theyll go after young readers like nothing before.As in Japan, this will spark a new cultural phenomenon of young people, will be revealed as false. Young people today read more, and write a lot more, than any generation in history. To date, theyve been unexcited about books magazines and newspa
21、pers because they grew up with social networking and social media. Once books are electronic, relevant an social, too, theyll start reading and writing books like crazy.6.The decline of the newspaper industry.And, finally, the newspaper industry is dying. The old method of physically delivering blog
22、 entries on dead tree pulp is out-of-date. Its very simple. Newspapers that embrace e-books will survive. Those that dont, wont.If youd like to get a stark view of the relative economics of electronic vs. paper newspapers, check out a blog post on the Silicon Valley Insider. The blog did the math an
23、d determined that the New York Times could buy every single subscriber an Amazon Kindle e-book reader, and it would still cost them half as much as it will cost them to send paper newspapers for just one year.After decades of false starts, the e-book revolution is finally upon us.
