A cup of cappuccino costs Rs. 100, give or take a few rupees, depending on the location and the city. It roughly translates into $2. The brewing time for the same is less than 10 minutes. Typically, the content doesn’t last long forcing many to opt for a second round. There is yet another interesting facet to this activity. Coffee, most of the time is consumed while performing other tasks such as reading newspaper, chatting with friends, listening to music or watching television. It offers nothing but few thoughtful moments, an engaging ambience or a quick burst of energy.
In contrast an eBook offers much more at the same price. The brewing time for a fiction book ranges from a couple of months to a decade. Yes, some writers take years before they present their work to the public. Unlike coffee, a book offers gratification that stretches over days and weeks, and more often than not turns into a beautiful memory. A book can also be exploited multiple times at no extra cost. It satiates the soul, refreshes the brain and offers unadulterated pleasure with no strings attached.
In spite of sporting a bouquet of advantages books are dying a slow death.
