Since a particular bookstore happens to resemble a supermarket anyway, the inescapable, though perhaps unintended, message is that books are consumable items, meant to be devoured and forgotten, like potatoes or pizza. The implied inclusion of books among the world’s perishable goods is hardly made more agreeable by the reflection that increasing numbers of books these days do seem to be written with just such consumption in mind, and that most bookstores have become little more than news stands for hard cover publications of this sort, which are merchandised for a few weeks—sometimes only as long as they remain on the best-seller lists—and are then retired to discount store (those jumbled graveyards of books, so saddening to the hearts of authors)shortly before dropping out of print altogether. Books that are planned for rapid oblivion probably make some kind of economic sense to publishing houses, but as contribution to literature they amount to a contradiction in terms.

There is a certain inevitability that ebook sales have now overtaken paperback sales on Amazon’s US site.Amazon’s
Kindle 2 is so light and so cheap that it’s easy to see why people have rushed to buy it.Though I’m still not keen on the design of the Kindle,it is a vast improvement on its predecessor and certainly tolerable.Beyond the device itself,Amazon has done a great job of rolling out Kindle apps,ensuring that people like me-who have an iPad but not a Kindle can still join in the fun.
Once you’re into the Kindle ecosystem,Amazon locks you in tightly-just as Apple does with its iTunes/iPod ecosystem.It’s so easy to buy from Amazon’s store and the books are so cheap that it’s not worth the effort of going elsewhere.
While I remain opposed to Amazon’s DRM(数字版权管理)-indeed,I’m opposed to DRM on any ebooks-I have to admit
that the implementation is so smooth that most Kindle users won’t care at all that their ebooks can’t be moved to other
devices.
The ebook trend is nowhere near peaking.Over the next five years we can expect to see more and more readers move away from printed books and pick up ebooks instead.But I don’t think that will mean the death of the printed book.
There are some who prefer printed books.They like having shelves filled with books they’ve read and books they plan to
read;they like the feel of the book in their hands and the different weights and typefaces and layouts of different titles.In other words,they like the physical form of the book almost as much as the words it contains.
I can sympathize with those people.As I wrote earlier this week,my ideal situation would be for publishers to bundle
e-books with printed ones-in much the same way that film studio DVDs with digital copies of films.There’s no reason to think
that lovers of printed books will change their minds.There will undoubtedly be fewer of them as time goes by because more
people will grow up with ebooks and spend little time with printed ones.However,just as there are people who love vinyl
records(黑胶唱片),even if they were born well into the CD era,there will still be a dedicated minority who love physical books.
Since there are fewer of these people,that will mean fewer bookshops and higher prices for printed books but I don’t think the picture is entirely bleak.There is scope for smaller print runs of lavishly designed printed books and bookshops aimed at
book lovers,rather than the Stieg Larsson-reading masses.With mainstream readers out of the printed book market,
booklovers might even find they get a better experience.
It can be learned that the trend of ebooks______《》（）A.will come to stop any time soon
B.will reach the summit in the near future
C.will meet its heyday when printed books die
D.has already reached its peak

第三篇Book Shops in LondonLondoners are great readers.They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and of books一specially paperbacks,which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises inthe costs of printing. They still continue to buy"proper"books,too,printed on good paper and bound between hard covers.There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London.Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found,from the celebrated one which boasts of being"the biggest bookshop in the world"to the tiny,dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dicken's time.
