Electronic Books Are the Future

If you haven’t heard, March is Read Across America month. Each year, thousands of events and programs spring up to motivate kids to read. In every city and town across America teachers, librarians, politicians, actors, athletes, parents, and grandparents worked together to promote lifetime reading. Over 4000 events were held this month alone to encourage a child to read. This year the campaign looked a little different. EBooks revenue has nearly doubled in the last year forcing the movement, and book lover, to go viral.

Data Center Professionals, imagine with me a world of online books. The projected revenue of eBooks in 2010 totaled a near $80 million dollars. The average eBook cost about seven dollars per book. That means at least 150,000 eBooks were sold (a very conservative number). Each eBook is an average of 300 KB. That means that about 40 GB of eBook memory is being hosted, and continuous accessed, on some dedicated server somewhere. Without even knowing it or maybe you do, the whole industry benefited from promoting kids to read. But we should not just stop there, we need to get involved.

To promote reading, and to enjoy a throwback memory, Colocation America’s staff is presenting our favorite children’s book. Here is a list, and reasons why, these were our favorite books growing up. Download one of these eBooks and start reading with a kid today!
