This article is about new technology that mixes videos and books, called vooks. What exactly are vooks? Do a lot of authors like the new format? Do you think these new vooks will eventually take the place of real books? Why or why not?

vooks are a hybrid of books and videos. personaly i belive that this idea is absloutly horrible and will never catch on. the act of reading is one where ink in paper com together to say somethin, not to be interupted by a video. most authors agree with me on this, though there are stll some that do not.
ReplyDeleteVooks are basically a different way to read which can be used on ipods and other handheld devices. Some people like the idea because it makes young people more interested in books. However experts say that changing the way people read is degrading to books. I think that vooks will eventually take the place of books because it is easier to just go on the internet and read than to buy a book and sit down and read.
