The e-book advantage

SO, on which side do you weigh in on the whole print vs e-book debate? With more and more authors making their work available digitally, this is becoming an intriguing question indeed.

When we wrote two years ago about the e-book trend finally heating up in Malaysia, we spoke to a local bookstore chain that had brought in the country’s first e-book reader, the Hanlin: “MPH Bookstores, a company with roots going back more than a century, is stepping into the digital book age by being the first Malaysian bookseller to sell an e-book reader in its stores.” (Local pioneer, Insight, StarMag, Jan 24, 2010)
