It doesn’t matter if books are delivered in printed or electronic forms; the main thing is to get lost in reading them. Reading books is vital for human development.

Why should we bother reading a book? People cannot figure out the meaning of reading. In a world of accelerating technology, lacking time and decreasing attention, should they invest precious time sinking into a good book?

The discovery that our brains are physically changed by the experience of reading is something many of us will understand instinctively, as we think back to the way an extraordinary book had a transformative effect on the world view of people. This transformation only takes place when we lose ourselves in a book. That’s why studies have found this kind of deep reading gives us a better understanding of the inner lives of others.

Rationally, we know that reading is the foundation stone of all education, and therefore an important basis of the economic benefits. But perhaps even more significant is its emotional role as the starting point for individual voyages of personal development and emotional pleasure. They can help create and strengthen our sense of self. If reading were to decline significantly, it would change the nature of our species. If we, in the future, are no longer wired for self-reflection and creative thought, we will die out.

Technology let the readers experience more adventures from more books. Publishers need to get better at using the ability f the Internet to inform readers, and potential readers, about all the extraordinary new books that are published every year.

The research shows the benefits of reading clearly. So there can hardly be a better reason for fighting to protect the future of the book.
