The history of books is very interesting. In ancient times, there were no books, and people passed on their knowledge by telling stories. Later, people learned how to write and make paper. With paper, people began to write down their stories. They wrote each word by hand. It took a long time to write just one book!
Then, the printing press appeared and changed the world. With modern technology, it was possible to print books quickly. It was also possible for common people to read books.
Recently, computers and the Internet changed the world again. A new kind of book appeared: the electronic book(e-book). E-books are quickly changing people's reading habits.It is easier for people to buy and sell books online. Information travels faster and farther.
Nowadays, people have many ways to read books. No matter what you have, a computer, a tablet, a laptop, an ereader or a real book, keep on reading!
