When you carry your heavy schoolbag on the way to school or home, do you know the fact that the heavy schoolbag influences your interest in learning knowledge? Don't worry. You may be able to say goodbye to your heavy schoolbag in the near future.

Instead of burying(埋葬) your face in an ocean of textbooks, newspapers, magazines and novels, you will soon find that an E-book reader can take the place of them all.

An E-book reader is a new kind of mini machine designed to hold thousands of text files and display them on the screen as real text printed(印刷) on a paper page.

In t he same way in which the iPod(a kind of MP3) has changed the way people enjoy music, E-book readers could change the way that books are read. Some scientists have predicted that E-books will be used widely in our daily life, especially in schools.

The size of an E-book reader is the same as that of real books. Its screen is different from that of a computer. It is as thin as a piece of paper. The words on an E-book reader's screen look exactly the same as those on real pages. However, you can do more with an E-book reader than you can with a real book. The reader can change the size of the words and connect to the Internet to download new books.
