a question seems completely trivial, we find that it is not at all ..
-CONTENT, OR BOTH HOUSING?
" a book in electronic form (or rather digital ) " and still " If we refer the reader would be more correct, to avoid misunderstandings, referring to it as eBook reading device.
- CONTENT
already said that we can determine with absolute certainty that when it comes to ebook we refer etymologically to content and that is the classic book that enhances the paper and going digital.
It all boils then by defining a simple ebook files whose content is the book itself. This file ad hoc special reader software is usable on any device.
- HOUSING
The first ebook in pdf format and were read with normal reader software on each PC. The conjunctivitis invasive neophytes amateurs immediately suggested the way forward for science. As you know every person who spends much time in front of a backlit fact, the reading becomes very difficult and almost unbearable if prolonged. The real breakthrough in the field marked the invention of technology e-ink (s subsequent ), which has enabled us to produce devices, ebook reader says, with backlit screens and therefore do not work, such as paper, using external light and do not tire the view (but more about that more detail in some later posts).
- BOTH
Now that we have very clear what the content and what the envelope, we could look with a grin pedantic those poor "ignorant" selling devices with huge signs saying ebook below.
A speech of his mind on the subject leads us instead to bypass the mere question of semantics: with only our beautiful book scanned files and our computer can not do much, if not play with the view.
The initial and widespread misunderstanding about the meanings of ebooks and ebook reader (even wiki a few weeks ago he was the victim) shows wrong linguistically but conceptually shod: the electronic book is really competitive with the real (And better in many ways) only if accompanied by an equally competitive device.
The current situation is strong and promising developments in both areas (although this discuss in later posts) and in a few time, according to my humble little opinion, the word and the object ebook device + file, it will become customary.
