1 janv. 2007 - Amazon Kindle Debuts

Description:

The Amazon Kindle transformed the book industry by digitizing reading and reshaping how books are accessed, consumed, and distributed. While not the first e-reader, Kindle was the first to gain widespread popularity. Its compact, handheld design allowed users to carry entire libraries with them, echoing the portability of ancient cuneiform tablets and wax writing boards. The device’s side buttons mimicked the traditional action of turning pages in a book. The impact of e-readers has extended beyond casual reading, with libraries now offering e-book lending, and schools and universities have adopted digital textbooks, solidifying their role in how we now interact with books.
