Can you imagine a world without books ? I’m talking about actual physical books that you can hold in your hands and flip through the pages. Future generations may never know the feeling of flipping the pages of their favourite books due to the new e-readers.

With e-readers you can store hundreds of your favourite books in one digital device (a concept similar to MP3 players but with books instead of music).

Samsung has just launched its first e-reader (the Samsung SNE-50K) in South Korea adding a new competitor to the popular Kindle by Amazon and the many Sony models.
