This past holiday season saw the sales of eReaders and tablets “soar,” according to the New York Times. I remember many Christmases where big-screen televisions were the big seller, and even talking stuffed animals for kids sent parents into a buying frenzy (who can forget the loveable Teddy Ruxpin?). Times have changed.
But is the popularity of these devices really that surprising? I say no. Ebooks have entered into mainstream culture and ebook sales increase by the month. Further, there are more choices in tablet computers that can act as an ebook reader and give the some of the same functionality as a laptop.
