eBooks: A Language Learner’s Best Friend

Just as the printing press democratized access to the written word, ebooks are again revolutionizing how information is produced, distributed and consumed. Even successful authors, whose very livelihoods have depended on the sale of dead-tree books (e.g. Timothy Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Workweek and The Four-Hour Body, and Seth Godin, author of Tribes, Permission Marketing, and All Marketers are Liars) have seen the writing on the literary wall, and agree that "print is dead", or at least "dying fast"... But this is not necessarily a bad thing considering the myriad advantages of ebooks, especially for learners of foreign languages.
