Old vs new: are good old-fashioned books passe?
As a bibliophile, I have long resisted the pizzaz of e-books, Kindles, and iPads.
The times though are a changin’. It started with a Kindle, a thoughtful gift from my lovely husband before a long-haul flight. Ahhh, I thought at the time, this is great, all these books, on tap, without breaking my baggage allowance! Not to mention, that clever e-ink to make the whole reading gig easier on my eyes.
Though, Kindles will never replace old-fashioned paper books.
Then, I became the proud of an iPad (yes in this case I was most definitely a late adopter or a sheep depending on how fancy you get with titles). How I love that iPad! Its sleek design, its user-friendly functionality (brilliant form and function – hallmarks of fab design).
Though, Kindles will never replace old-fashioned paper books.
This was all until I found a new hybrid. The one that has captivated me is Mr Sandman, a sumptuous feast of gorgeous design, clever app, e-book and delightfully entertaining all round.
Since finding Mr Sandman, I have started to doubt my resolve. Will these new clever app/e-book/entertaining game hybrids replace a good old-fashioned book?
Now I am not so sure… what do you think?
Enjoy xx
