The pursuit of knowledge

I think most of the people in my place wouldn't have written this post.
Because I have an audio book website since the year 2000.
And it is something I am very proud of, and more than anything something I really believe in.
That is the main reason I write this post.
Because I do not see somebody else's audio book club website as a threat.
I am happy there are others who love the electronic format for books and believe in it.
Data is not necessarily information, but it is better than nothing.

Since thousand of years the purpose of teaching has began with giving opportunities.
The more opportunities, the more culture was spread.
We came from an age when most people couldn’t read or write to one when analphabetism is not so wide spread any more.
That was thanks to the fact that books were published and not hand written.
The fact that culture became cheaper meant that more people could have access to it.
That didn’t mean that all who could have access to it became suddenly cultured people.

As regarding interactivity, I agree, ebooks should be used in their full potential, which is not only text.
I think the most successful ebooks are the audio ebooks.

When I was a child I loved reading, and I would have liked to have a speaking book with images and may be small movies.
I guess interactivity would be perfect for children books and scientific books.
And ,since it is possible to easily download a book from the Internet,culture is really accessible to most.
On AudiobookGeek.com you can have a wide choice of audiobooks and even rent them.
You can find thousand of the hottest and newest titles, unlimited download and rentals.
And what is good on the Net, if you decide this is the right moment to read and listen, you just download, WITHOUT WAITING!
