Fair closed until next year
La Feria del Libro de Buenos Aires, 2009 ended . It is perhaps one of the only events of the "Culture" more crowded and commercial success in an unprofitable sector. No lack of speeches, presentations, riots, figures and cameras as usual. Without doubt, television was the main character because, as a trend of recent years, publications are most talked about celebrities in the glow of the idiot box. Even with the readings of great works they recognized actors from the small screen. Here is the news and the magazine, looking for celebrities and their stories. The circle is operational and the public will.
would be reductive to speak of a public only because there are several reasons why many people do not stop to stop by the fair: students, hobbyists, professionals, among others. But all the mass that attends read during the year? Is it possible that, contrary to all predictions, people still prefer to eat books if informed by television? Or just read what they publish the famous tv? Are issues to resolve.
e-book support
In the United States is already on sale on Kindle, such as an iPod of books, which wirelessly connects to Amazon.com and you can download thousands of titles, payment. Everything is in the air, it seems. From the technical, device is sold as a forgiving view of the user because it uses a grayscale "friendly." Somehow, continues with the format of the book, only to run the page, a button is enough. You can also access the American Morning (also subscription).
However, every technological advance poses a threat. In this case, are not yet resolved: Internet piracy and the death of the printed book (yes, I predict disaster in tune for years). It is clear that the Kindle is available just a few countries, where the Amazon payment system works.
The question is, in my opinion, as we generate new readers, because what was lost is not reading the book, in that order. Links
