My name is Owen Grzywinski. I am a senior at Science Leadership Academy in Philadelphia and this is my english class project. The focus of this site will be to examine the impact of electronic books on book stores, libraries and the people who work there.
Is our society moving away from the traditional paper pages and heading towards a new chapter in literary history? I went on my own investigative journey to find out the answer. The information that you'll find here has been taken from my own opinion, reliable sources and people who have been affected by the introduction of e-books.
As you'll soon find out, this is a fairly large topic with many different angles that one could examine it from. We could look at it from the standpoint of a business owner who has either benefited or suffered by the introduction of e-books. Or something we're all more familiar with, the consumer. What does the average person think when they see a Borders being closed down or a library shortening its hours. It's all a matter of perspective and I tried my best to cover all the bases.
There's a little something for everyone on this site and I hope that you enjoy reading what I've compiled here.
