EnR Virtual Library
New tech, new perspective
Although often linked, anxiety about the new is different than nostalgia for the old.
A print book is a beautifully simple technology to use.
Pick the thing up, turn each leaf in sequence until finished.
If literate, anyone can pick up and read any print book.
An electronic book is more complex technology.
An eBook requires a computer, eReader or tablet, and a power source to keep the device charged.
It requires computer access to a website or digital catalog where files can be downloaded, and an understanding of how to use it.
Pages arent just turned, they are clicked and pinched and swiped movements that need to be learned, and vary between different devices and brands.
In other words, you need new kinds of literacy to even get to the text.
Moreover, you need to keep up with the constant development and updating of these devices and programs and understand the value and limitations of different devices, formats, and suppliers.
This market-driven mess is the major issue with current eBooks.
Different eReaders are made by different companies Amazons Kindle, Barnes & Nobles Nook, and the Sony Reader, to name a few.
Then there are tablets, such as Apples iPad, which perform a range of functions similar to a computer, one of which is enabling users to read eBooks through an app (short for application, or computer program).
These different devices run on different software and require different file types.
An eBook that works on a Kindle may not work on an iPad.
There is no single file type that allows an eBook to be published on all devices.
So although cutting out the printing and binding process of traditional book production may seem to reduce production time and costs, the confusion of designing for different platforms and devices means an entirely new and more complicated production process has been introduced.
The urgency to capture the market means many of these devices and the software/programs on them are released before they have been properly tested, and have faults that need to be addressed by constantly updating to newer versions of the software.
Amazons Kindle Fire eReader, released just before Christmas 2011, was riddled with bugs and problems: volume-control glitches, an off-switch that was easily hit by accident, slow loading time, and an unresponsive touch screen.
Hundreds of articles and forums are dedicated to problems associated with iPads: overheating devices, Wi-Fi connectivity issues, slow charging, apps, and eBooks refusing to sync or download.
This can seem overwhelming when you could just pick up a print book and begin reading immediately.
Yet the complexity of the digital system is what allows eBooks to do astounding things, and offers versatility and accessibility impossible in print.
