New reading technology is definitely helping with it. I'm not gonna lie, the only reason I started reading eclipse was because I was able to download it free on my ipod touch lol. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would not be reading anything but the shit we're forced to read in school. Now they're coming out with the "iBooks" on the new iPad and hopefully it's alike predecessors. I think a lot of teens would start reading if itouch got the "iBooks" considering a lot of teenagers own one and carry it everywhere with them. That was a lot of "i"s.
Technology is helping, absolutely. EBooks are doing wonders for the world.
1. It is cheap
2. It is portable (just requires a EBook device)
3. And it requires less resources (i.e. Trees)
So it is a win-win situation if you ask me, but it is still a long way before reading will become popular again, because, as we know, reading is for nerds, dodgy I.T. guys and people with no life, right?
But yeah, I still have a lot of books to read after The Bourne Identity.
1. Deception Point - Dan Brown
2. The Lost Symbol - Dan Brown
3. Rainbow Six - Tom Clancy (OMFG how am I going to finish that!?)
4. Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse - Kaleb Nation
5. The Eyes of Darkness - Dean Koontz
God, I wish I had an Amazon Kindle right now.
