El libro en papel, una relíquia antigua

Ha aparecido en el mercado un soporte para libros electrónicos que a mí me parece de lo más cómodo y práctico. Lo ha patentado la libreria virtual Amazon La era del libro en papel se está terminando. En el futuro irán surgiendo muchos más soporte como estos o mejores que dejaran al libro en papel como una relíquia de tiempos pasados. Este soporte tiene unas ventajas indiscutibles, siempre nos quedará la nostalgia del papel pero la ciencia avanza una barbaridad y los problemas de espacio (importante) y de dinero (más importante) y de comodidad llevan al libro electrónico. Este soporte de Amazon se llama Kindle y tiene muchas prestaciones: se lee cómodamente en una pantalla que parece papel, sin cables, pesa poco, se pasan páginas con dos botones a derechas y a izquierda, puedes comprar libros de Amazon y en dos minutos los tienes en el soporte, caben más de 2oo libros, bateria duradera... En fín, os copio lo que dice Amazon de él para el que le interese:
