Reading text on a computer monitor has become easier
with every advance in display technology and computer software. Reading
long texts on a monitor, however, is not always comfortable and most
readers prefer to read printed copies of longer texts.
Reading is a demanding task for the human brain. We
learn to read text in books, magazines and newspapers that employ
standard line lengths and standard fonts that are familiar. Microsoft's
brightest have worked to improve screen readability for eBooks and
have succeeded. The new screen fonts are easy to read, and the
page size is comfortable to use. From a publishers point of view, the
main limitation of the Microsoft eBook is poor control of page breaks.
The eBook page is designed to be flexible and scalable so that it can be
read on different kinds and sizes of screens. The reader will sometimes
notice page breaks that leave a single line dangling in an empty page or
a subsection title at the bottom of a page. These are relatively minor
limitations that can be overcome.
Tablet PCs are the
next step in the use electronic books. A tablet is designed to
making reading easy. The idea is that all printed media will be
downloaded and read electronically. While we are used to reading
newspapers, magazines and books the environmental cost of producing and
distributing printed words is enormous. We would like the world to
switch to electronic print. Tablet PCs have bigger, better screens than
pocket PCs; they are easy to carry, easy to read, and accept handwritten
input. They can store and entire library of books in an ultimately
portable format.
According to Monte
Enbysk: The Tablet PC
comes in two basic designs — "convertible," a tablet-sized screen with
an integrated keyboard that you can fold over like a notebook PC, and
"slate," where the screen is detached from the keyboard and can be
hooked together at a docking station. It is being manufactured by major
computer makers such as Hewlett Packard, Fujitsu, Toshiba and Acer, and
will run on Microsoft's Windows XP Tablet PC Edition operating system.
You won't need specialized software — Office and any line-of-business
applications you use with Windows XP will work on a Tablet PC."
