I have to break my silence. I have been away for so long with both the London and Bahrain trips and I had to compensate for work that was piled up. Blogging..? What’s that? But there’s something that got me back to my readers, a ray of inspirational light. Ladies and Gentlemen I want to talk you about E-books. Ever since the invention of PDF (Portable Document Format) by Adobe, reading is not restricted on paper, books and libraries, now any book can be electronic. The revolution is in how we will be reading books in future. The situation got even hotter when Google has taken the initiative of digitizing books and to open an online book store to compete with Amazon. E-book devices have been appearing and becoming popular such as Amazon’s Kindle, Sony Reader, Android’s Nook, and even Apple’s iPhone / iPod touch reading applications. You can carry as many books with you anywhere. What does that mean? The Waterstone’s bookstore in England is promoting their online bookstore and introducing the Sony Reader to its visitors. Barnes and Noble is doing the same with Nook in the US. Since Kuwait’s bookstores are not that popular and their collection is being suppressed by customs, would they survive this?

I think whoever left surviving have actually gained the some loyal customers that shall aid them into the new wave. I believe there are still those who can’t get pass the paper experience.
