The stats recording avid readers in SA are S.A.D. to say the least! The increasing lack of interest in reading seems to be a worldwide problem though [thank God for Harry Potter]. Other, more sexy tools like mobile phones, computers and TV are simply taking over. Readers are nothing new [well maybe they are for some] BUT they are pretty cool as they may encourage reading again…a cross over techno book tool – download your book? Whoosh…there goes Exclusive books…. Or is a revived reading craze just wishful thinking? The dark side of the reader is that actual paper books may eventually become like videos…! Extinct. AHHHHHhhhhh! Not good.
They are not being used massively in SA but readers are being sold in increasing quantities overseas. You can see they are gaining popularity when they bring out PINK! OH YEH! Getting one?
