1. what are your earliest recollections of books? Do you read for pleasure? If yes, what kinds of books do you enjoy? Why? My earliest recollection of books is when i was little and my mom and dad use to read me books like Brown Bear and the Bernstein Bears. I do not read for pleasure because mostly i do not have time. I go to school then i do homework and by the time i have time to read i would much rather do something else beside look at another book. I already read a lot for school so that is the main reason i do not read for pleasure, also i guess because i was forced to read a lot of books so i don't take the time to find what books could possible interest me.
2. What can the book industry do better to ensure that we are not overwhelmed by a visual and electronic culture? I believe the main thing the book industry can do so that we are not overwhelmed by visual and electronic culture is they can lower the price of books. Some books today are more expensive they the actual movie is. People may prefer to buy the movie instead of the book because one it is cheaper and because it will not take as much time to watch the movie than it will to read the book.
6. Would you read a book on an iPod or a Kindle? Why or Why not?
I would not read a book on an ipode or a kindle. Although i do not read much i would rather read a text or article in an magazine or a book. Reading in a book is more easily done and some people just like the feel of a book and believe that it is easier to take places. Another reason i would rather read a book in text rather than on a kindle or an ipod is the expense. Those items are a lot more expensive than if you would just buy a regular book, and not only do you have to buy the kindle but you still have to buy the book on the kindle for a couple of dollars. So i feel that it is a waste of money to buy kindles.
