Five years from now, possibly sooner, many of us will be reading books, plays and articles on handheld devices that fit in our pockets. Instead of traveling to our
local libraries, we'll be downloading our reading material from internet libraries and ebook stores directly into these handheld devices.
Imagine yourself sitting in an airport during a flight delay. It is 2:00 in the morning, all the gift shops are closed and you just finished the only book you brought with
you. Fear not! Just log on to the ArtemisPress website with your wireless PDA and download another ebook! It's as easy as that!
Need to make annotations and comments in the text? No problem! You will highlight and underline important passages without picking up a pen and
marking up pages. You'll conduct full-text searches for specific information, without ever having to dog-ear a page! You'll be able to access related works by linking directly to
bibliographic sources -- and, if connected to the internet with your wireless PDA at the same time, surf those online sources immediately! And, of course, you'll be helping the environment at the
same time -- causing fewer trees to be cut down and less toxic ink to be spilled!
We are not talking about a future society in some science fiction novel! Much of this technology is here today...and more technological advances are right around the corner! It is
an exciting time to be book-lover! Read what the press has to say about the future of publishing!
