What is a book?

A book is a book. I do not think it matters how you read. I personally like to read a physical book because I like to see myself progress through the book. I have a kindle but I do not like to read because you only get to touch a button and not get to flip a page. I think the ipad has the best virtual way to read a book because you get to do the motion of turning a page and you see it “turn”. I think that physical books should still be produced because there are a lot of people who don’t like the kindle or nook and people should be able to choose which one they read off of. However I feel that kids’ books should be paper and not virtual. They should have the experience of reading from books so they can make a decision later if they like those types of books or if they want to read off of a kindle. I think that the nooks, kindles, and ipads are a great idea. If there is someone that has an ipad already than I think it would be practical for them to get books on it or even the newspaper. People have accepted newspapers and articles read on computers and ipads so why should a book be any different? Newspaper companies are still doing fine so I don’t think that authors have anything to worry about. People still buy magazines and newspapers because they like physically having it even though they could easily get on the internet and read the exact same one.
