Ebooks now outsell print books in UK: Amazon


Yes, it is true that the popularity of ebook is increasing at an accelerated pace, especially in UK. According to Amazon, ebooks now outsell print books in UK. A book retailer in UK said, "For every 100 print books sold, 114 ebooks are purchased". 

Please note that these figures are particular to Amazon.co.uk & and not for print or ebook sales anywhere else online or in physical stores. Anyway, the figure is enough to raise the eyebrows. Very soon, we can see similar figure in common calculation as well. Introduction of tablets and rise of Internet has driven our soul. Today, everybody wants to live an "elife" - online shopping, online reading(ebooks), online communication, online meeting, e- marriage, etc. Hell lots of activities are done online.

Novels and story books are commonly consumed contents on ebooks. Nowadays, digital content providers such as DK (Dorling Kindersley), Adobe, Alacra, Amazon, Innodata Isogen, and AOL are providing contents covering diverse subjects to attract more ebook readers. There will be no wonder when a day will come where print books will not exist but definitely not very soon, it will take hundreds of decades!  

The usability and flexibility of reading ebook is adding to the popularity of this trend.

The Moon in My Bedroom

Can you see the moon anytime in the day? No, the  moon  appears only after sunset. You are wrong. They appear all the time. We can see it only when it is dark. However, leave the fact aside as you can see the moon day and night that too in a bedroom. I have moons in my bedroom. My 3-year-old son discovered this. He is an astronomer, lol. There are four round-shaped ceiling lights in my bedroom, the four moons for my son. Yes, his bedroom is his planet. Kids are imaginative. Let them create the world in their imagination.  Photo by Eileen lamb from Pexels

Mistakes Do Happen

Yes, mistakes can happen even if you try every attempt to avoid them. Mistakes happen not knowingly. You came to know only when everything went wrong. They are like unwanted guests, who irritate you badly till when they are at your place. But it is not so that you will suffer the consequence throughout your life just due to few mistakes. You can correct them once you realize. Guests do not come to your place to stay forever. They will go later or sooner. But if you provide them the liberty to stay in your home without showing your pain, they will enjoy their stay in your place and not bother to move. So are the mistakes. If you will not try to rectify your mistakes, they will keep pinching you for long time. So, don’t get adjustable with them, weed them out as soon as possible. We are human and not God. So, it is very usual for us to commit mistakes. But repetition of mistakes is not at all good. Those who repeat mistakes are not being, they are either fool, demon, or impractical. ...

Time is powerful...

Yes, there is nothing as powerful as time; all you need is patience. If darkness has come to your life, definitely you will get the sunshine. Remember, at time you need the darkness to feel the power of light. The following quote is very true...so you should never devalue or hurt anyone...if you are doing so, your 'karma' will change the circumastances and you are bound to suffer the pain harder than you have given to somebody and you will be devalued to the extent that you can never look up...mind it, never, never in your life...
