Technology speaks- Accept the transformation

A day after Amazon declared that it sold more books for its e-reader Kindle when compared with hardcovers in the past three months, the Hong Kong Book Fair opened on Wednesday together with a section on e-publishing.After the weeklong event, the biggest of its kind in the Chinese speaking market is still largely about selling print books that are carted away in canvas sacks as well as rolling suitcases. However companies dealing with e-books as well as associated media are working on ways to change the same. There were booths from as much as twenty companies or may be even more in the new “digital reading interactive zone.” Hanvon, a Chinese organization had come up with black and white devices similar to Amazon’s Kindle e-book reader. Retailing for 2,550 – 2,900 Hong Kong dollars, or approximately $330 – $370, each comes with some free titles in English or Chinese. Jecomtech, a Hong Kong company, was showing a US-made product called Onyx Boox that can operate in English, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish and a dozen other languages. Retailing for 2,980 Hong Kong dollars, it came with 1,000 titles. Martin Ke, a Jecomtech sales manager mentioned that beautiful design books look good in print.

We wish to see more advancement in technology
