Electronic gadgets held glued on one’s palm, checking emails, playing Facebook, uploading pictures in Instagram, chatting with friends or reading electronic books (eBook), all of which are activities repeatedly done by technology addicts. These images are frequently seen while we are sitting in the BTS sky trains, walking along the street or even dinning in the Michelin-starred restaurants. Whereas the rendezvous with friends, chatting and giggling face to face, sending telegrams and letters or reading paperback books have faded bit by bit from our digital connectivity.
With popularity of today’s modern technology, aficionados’ consumption of novels reading on digital text forces publishers to produce less conventional hard copy books.

Therefore, this may be a confirmation that the classic hard copy books have not yet lost its acceptance to an eBook.
