Through Ken Kaiman's ideas he understands that there is no problem with the format in which the books are sold, the problem is whether there will still be readers in the future to buy these books.
Explanation:
Rudy Shur begins the text by showing how there is a concern between publishers and authors that e-books will completely replace physical books. Shur shows that he continues to sell more physical books than e-books, but understands that the market for e-books expands faster than the one for physical books. However, Ken Kaiman said that the real problem in the publishing industry is not the format in which the books will be sold, but whether there will be readers for them. Kaiman stated that the number of readers decreases progressively each year. This is because children are no longer educated to view the book as a form of entertainment and knowledge. Many parents have never presented any books to their children, but they do present video games and other electronic devices as a way to keep the child entertained. This will form a generation of adults who will not be interested in books and will raise new children in the same way.
