E. READING
Read the following passage and answer the questions.

Books and reading are a very important part of education. If

you go into someone’s house in the modern world, they will
usually have some sort of bookshelf full of books that they
like to read. Some very educated or book-loving people have
large rooms full of books.

Nowadays, you can have many books without needing a room to store them. The Internet is making it
more efficient for people to read. Web sites now make it easy for people to buy books. Thousands of
books are available online. You can buy used books or new books. Now you can even buy electronic
books. The Kindle, released by the web site Amazon, allows people to download books online and read
them on the device. People can download hundreds of books at a time and put them on this small,
hand-held e-book reader.

The personal libraries of the past still look good and many people still like to have paper books, but e-
book readers like the Kindle are changing things fast. Now people can carry huge libraries with them
anywhere. People can read books for a lot cheaper as well. Books bought electronically are

device. The Kindle and other reading devices are going to change book-buying and reading forever.
