E – Books for students and Teachers
Next week, I am going to some meetings near Seattle, Washington. They will be running some test programs 21 a new e – book project they plan to start in the future. Today, several companies on the Internet (Microsoft included) will offer to 22 a book manuscript (原稿，手稿) for no fee 23 for a very small fee. The book will be printed “on demand”, 24 means they do not print thousands of copies in advance, but print books one or two or ten 25 using new print technology. Thus if I had a book with one of these on – line publishers, a reader could 26 it from an Internet outlet (经销店). Amazon would notify (通报) the on – line publisher 27 then print a copy and Amazon would ship it to the reader, It is technology 28 makes this “individualized” system 29 . In this country, I am told that 30 lose money on 31 six books out of ten; that they break – even on 2 or 3, and 32 money on only 1 or 2. the new Internet on – line system doesn’t even have a book 33 and it “Prints on Demand” (POD), 34 the publishers won’t lose 35 money. The electronic book is like a laptop computer. One downloads the electronic book 36 the Internet into the e – book, which then displays the text on a screen. I am told that the e – book may read the text to you 37 , may offer 38 music. Amazing.
A friend e – mailed me 39 that his textbook 40 and www. netlibrary. com.
