Ngaba oku kuthetha ukuba isigqibo sigqityiwe kwiincwadi ze-e? Ngaba oku kuthetha ukuba abantu, okanye ubuncinci kwimikhosi yentengiso ababonakalise ngayo, bakhethe iphepha elibhaliweyo ngaphezulu kuhlobo lohlobo?
Kubonakala ngathi kunjalo. Kwaye kukho ubuninzi bezizathu zokuba kutheni.
Iivenkile ezizimeleyo zeencwadi ziindawo obeka kuzo kwiphepha lakutshanje, umamele ukufundwa ngumbhali oyintandokazi okanye ufumane isipho esisodwa kumhlobo owahlukileyo. Kwaye bayachuma. Ngokwe- Umbutho wabathengisi beencwadi baseMelika (ABA), umbutho wezorhwebo ongajonganga nzuzo kwiivenkile zeencwadi ze-indie, ubulungu bayo bukhule unyaka wesithoba ngokulandelelana kwi-2018, kunye neevenkile ezisebenza ngaphezulu kweendawo ezingama-2 400. Ayisiyiyo loo nto kuphela, ukuthengisa kwiivenkile ezithengisa iincwadi ezizimeleyo kunyuke malunga neepesenti ezintlanu ngaphezulu kwe-2017.
Bhalisa kwiNcwadana yeShishini yaBabukeli
Okwangoku, ukuthengiswa kwee-e-ncwadi-iinguqulelo zedijithali esasixelelwe zona kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo ukuba ziyakutshintsha ishishini lokupapasha ngonaphakade-zimile. Ukuthengiswa kweencwadi ze-E-ncwadi kuye kwehla nge-3.9 yepesenti ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kulo nyaka, ngokuka idatha evela kuMbutho wabapapashi baseMelika , Ngelixa i-hardback kunye nephepha elibonisa ukuthengiswa kweencwadi likhule nge-6.2 yeepesenti kunye neepesenti ze-2.2 ngokwahlukeneyo. Ngexesha leenyanga ezisithoba zokuqala ze-2018, ukuthengisa okunzima kunye nokuthengiswa kwephepha kuvelise phantse i $ 4 yezigidigidi zidityanisiwe; ngokuthelekisa, iincwadi ze-e-ncwadi zangena kuphela kwizigidi ezingama-770.9 zeedola.
Unikwe ukonyuka kokutya kwiivenkile kunye neyona, ngokomzimba iincwadi, kucacile ukuba i-Kindle ayinayo impembelelo efanayo kwigama elibhaliweyo njenge-iPod kumculo. Ngokucacileyo, ayizizo zonke izinto ezithandwayo ze-analog ezinokuthi zitshintshwe ngokulula ziifomathi ezintsha zedijithali.
Nangona kunjalo, ayizizo zonke izinto ezilungileyo kwivenkile ethengisa izitena nodaka. I-Barnes kunye neNoble zivala indawo kwaye, ukusukela kule nyanga, zisenokuba njalo ilungiselela ukuzibeka ukuba ithengise . Uya kuba nzima ukufumana isitolo sencwadi kwiivenkile ezinkulu kwezi ntsuku (ubuncinci enye ayizukuvala iBarnes & Noble kungekudala).
Okumangalisayo kukuba, yayiyiBarnes neNoble eyayityhala amatsheyina amancinci anjengeeWaldenbook kunye noB.Dalton ngaphandle komdlalo, xa ibonelela ngamava amakhulu evenkile ezinkulu eza neendawo zokufunda, iivenkile zekofu kunye nendawo yokuhlangana nabahlobo phakathi kweencwadi kunye neemagazini. Kodwa kubonakala ngathi ikhonkco linokuthi landise ngaphezulu kwaye liwele kumjikelo we-e-yorhwebo. Ke njengokuba i-Barnes kunye ne-Noble besokola, ivenkile yendawo, ezimeleyo ingene ukuhlangabezana neemfuno zabathengi. 
Iivenkile ezizimeleyo ziindawo zokuqokelela, iziko loluntu, kunye nababonakalisi bemimandla ebuxabisileyo ubugcisa, imfundo kunye nobuchule.Iipelisi
Ngokwe-ABA, inani labathengisi beencwadi abazimeleyo lenyuke ngeepesenti ezingama-35 ukusukela ngo-2009 ukuya ku-2015- ikwakwiminyaka efanayo neAmazon eyayityhala i-Kindle kunye neBarnes & Noble eyayityhala eyayo i-e-reader, iNook.
Kodwa kutheni? Eli bekufanele ukuba lixesha le-e-ncwadi kunye nokuhanjiswa kweentsuku ezimbini kwiAmazon.
ELivingston, eNew Jersey — idolophu ekhulayo enabahlali abangama-30,000, iikhilomitha ezingama-29 ukusuka kwisiXeko saseNew York — kwindawo ekuthiwa yi-Words Bookstore yommandla, ishishini lihle kangangokuba abanini balo baceba ukuvula indawo yesibini.
Abantu kwindawo esihlala kuyo bakholelwa ekuthengeni nasekuxhaseni amashishini endawo, utshilo umninimzi uJonathan Zimiles kwisikhululo sasekuhlaleni INew Jersey 101.5 .
Ingenzeka njani le nto? Impendulo ibandakanya ukudityaniswa kwezinto kubandakanya iAmazon, i-Kindle, kunye nee-e-ncwadi ngokwazo. Zona kanye izinto ezizise ukufumaneka kwedijithali ekufundeni zenze ukuba abafundi balangazelele ivenkile ebonakalayo yencwadi kunye novuyo oluza neeshelfu zeencwadi kunye nesenzo esilandelayo sokwenza inkanuko yokufunda yangoku incwadi. Kubonakala ngathi kwizinto ezimbalwa kakhulu abantu abafuna ukuzithengela-ngaphakathi, iincwadi yenye yazo.
Abathandi beencwadi bafunda izihloko ezothusayo malunga nokusweleka kwishishini leencwadi, uKatie Presley, umthengi kwi-indie Upshur Street Books, uxelele iMarketWatch , Kwaye bakhuthazekile ukuba babeke iidola zabo kwishishini kunye nefom yobugcisa abayithandayo kwaye bafuna ukuyigcina.
Ngamanye amagama, kwaye njengenye yezona zintsonkothileyo kwimbali yentsingiselo yokoqobo yoncwadi, kubonakala ngathi ukusweleka kwivenkile ethengisa iincwadi yeyona nto ibuyisayo.
Malunga neminyaka emine edlulileyo, ndibhalele ibali Ijenali yeWall Street isihloko Iincwadi ze-E, Ukwahlukana , apho ndililele ukuphela kobudlelwane bam nee Kindles kunye nohlobo lwazo. Ndaphikisana, ngelo xesha, ukuba abafundi be-e-ncwadi babengafanelekanga ukuba banxunguphale kwaye babusingela phantsi ubumnandi bokuthenga, kunye nokufunda incwadi. Ngaphandle kokuthanda kwam zonke izinto zobuchwephesha kunye netekhnoloji, into malunga ne-e-ncwadi ayizange inamathele. Ngamanye amaxesha, kungenxa yokuba bendilibale ukubiza u-Kindle wam phambi kwendiza ende, ndishiywe ngaphandle kwencwadi yokufunda. Ngamanye amaxesha, ibikukuba ndiphose nje isenzo sokuguqula iphepha ndisebenzise ibhukumaka endala. 
Akukho nto yanelisayo ngaphezu kokuguqula iphepha langempela lencwadi yangempela.Iipelisi
Andikhange ndixoxe malunga nokungakwazi ukubolekisa ngeencwadi ze-e. Enye yezinto endizithandayo ukuzenza, xa ndithetha ngencwadi endisandul 'ukuyigqiba kwaye ndiyayithanda, kukuhambisa ikopi yam enezinja kumhlobo wam endicinga ukuba angayonwabela. Kukutshintshiselana okunzima ukuphinda-phinda malunga nayo nayiphi na into yobugcisa. Awuzukuboleka umntu umzobo, umzekelo, kwaye ngelixa ungaboleka umntu irekhodi okanye iCD, uyafuna ukuba ibuye. Ngephepha elili- $ 10, ulinika umntu kwaye ulindele ngokupheleleyo ukuba loo mntu alinike omnye umntu.
Emva koko, kwabakho amaxesha amabini ndalahlekelwa luhlobo lwam. Ngesinye isihlandlo, ndawushiya kwisitulo esihleli ngasemva kwinqwelomoya eYakushima, eJapan. Kwenye, ndayishiya, ndangena ngaphakathi ndaza ndahlawulisa, kwigumbi lokungenisa ihotele. Ngelixa ukuphulukana nencwadi kuyingqushu, yi- $ 10 bummer etshintsha ngokulula. Ukuphulukana nohlobo, nangona kunjalo, yintlekele encinci yeedola ezingama-300.
Kulungile, ndixokile. Ndilahlekelwe ngu Kindle kathathu. Kwityeli lesithathu, ndaphinda ndawushiya kwisitulo esihleli ngasemva senqwelomoya eLos Angeles. Ngelo xesha, nangona kunjalo, ndaphinda ndaphinda ndaphinda ndasifumana esi sixhobo emva kokuthunywa kwabaphenyi ababalaseleyo ababandakanya i-Instagram, i-LAPD kunye neqela elikhohlakeleyo lokugcina iinqwelomoya. Kwisithuba seeveki ezimbini zokufumana kwakhona uhlobo lwam, ndiqhekeze iscreen sayo esibuthathaka ebhegini yam evalelwe kakhulu.
Kwaye yayiyeyam. Ndenziwe nge-e-ncwadi, kwaye ngokwamanani okuthengisa alo nyaka, andindedwa.
Amanani abi ngokwenene: Ngokuka Nielsen , 2016 intengiso ye-e-ncwadi phakathi kwabathengisi abaphezulu abangama-30 behle ngepesenti ezili-16 ukusuka kumanani abo ka-2015. Izabelo zeencwadi ze-E zazo zonke iincwadi ezithengisiweyo zikwokwehla, kubalwa iipesenti ezingama-27 zentengiso iyonke ngo-2015 xa kuthelekiswa neepesenti ezingama-23 ngo-2016.
Kwiiveki nje ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, bendikwivenkile ethengisa iincwadi yasezinzulwini zobusuku ukukhutshwa kwinoveli kaHaruki Murakami. Ivenkile ibonelela ngeziselo, izinto zaseMurakami kunye nemisebenzi, kwaye yanika iingxowa zeebhulukhwe ezineemurakami, izincomo zomshicileli wakhe owenza iingxowa zezitolo zeencwadi ezizimeleyo.
Xa ndeva ngalo msitho, ndarhoxisa i-oda yam yangaphambi kweAmazon ukuze ndikwazi ukujoyina imithendeleko. Ndihlawule ixabiso elipheleleyo endaweni yesaphulelo sangaphambi komyalelo weAmazon, kodwa uyazi ntoni? Ndandingakhathali. Ndifuna ukuxhasa ivenkile yasekhaya (kwaye ndifuna loo bhegi yethotyi).
Kodwa ke, kukho umhlobo wam olungileyo uJon. Ufunga ngeencwadi ze-e. Ungumfundi okrelekrele, egqobhoza iinoveli ngeveki, efunda iincwadi ze-e kwi-smartphone yakhe. Uxoxa ukuba uhlala enefowuni yakhe naye, ke unokufikelela kwisahluko okanye ezibini xa ehamba esitratweni, kwigumbi lokuhlambela okanye naphi na.
Unyanisile-kukho amaxesha apho ndinqwenela ukuba nencwadi kunye namanye amaxesha xa ndingenazo iipokotho okanye ixesha lokuzisa incwadi nam. Wakha wazama ukuzisa isiciko esikhuni esitsha kunye nawe kuhambo? Akumnandi kangako.

Mhlawumbi emva kweminyaka ye-e-book hype (kunye / okanye uloyiko lokwenza uloyiko), ekugqibeleni sifikile kumhlaba ophakathi. Xa kuziwa ekuhambeni nasekusebenzeni lula, kunzima ukubetha iincwadi ze-e. Kodwa xa kuziwa kutyelelo lwevenkile yeencwadi emnandi ngeCawa emva kwemini kulandelwa ikomityi yekofu kunye nombhali wakho omthandayo, akukho nto ibetha eyona nto iyiyo. Kwaye kubonakala ngathi emva kweminyaka yovavanyo lwee-e-ncwadi, abantu abaninzi bayayiqonda into efanayo.
