With this one book , you will be able to read novels , plays ,and even today' newpapers. it will look like today book, but it will be electronics. One of the people working on the book of the future is Professor Joseph. Books will have a small botton on the side .When you press the botton ,wort will instantly appear on the page. When you want to read a different story you can put the botton again and a new story will quickly appear.What is the technology behind Professor Joseph's book ? Two important inventors will this new kind of book possible. Electronic ink or e- ink is a liquid that can be printed on paper. Unlike regular ink , words in e- ink are not permanant.
