The Rise of E-Books: Revolutionizing Reading in the Advanced Age

E-books have their origins in the 1970s, but it wasn't until the 2000s, with the advent of the internet and mobile technology, that they became widely popular. The introduction of dedicated e-readers, like Amazon's Kindle in 2007, transformed the reading experience by providing a lightweight, portable solution for accessing digital literature. This breakthrough allowed readers to carry vast libraries in their pockets, resulting in a significant increase in e-book sales and changing the landscape of reading forever.
