Two new electronic book products (the SoftBook and the PocketBook) have gathered extensive press coverage, including articles in ABC News, the N

18、ew York Times, San Jose Mercury News, and WIRED. An electronic book (e-book) is a book-length publication in digital form, consisting of text, images, or both, and produced on, published through, and readable on computers or other electronic devices. Different from a traditional printed book, e-book

19、s are born digital. Being a firm believer in tablet computers for many tasks not involving heavy data entry, I applaud these new designs of the products. In particular, the SoftBook has nice leather binding (封皮), going far beyond the traditional (and boring) industrial design used for other portable

20、 computers. The PocketBook has a more traditional industrial design, typical of leading electronic gadgets (小配件). Unfortunately, neither company mentions their products screen resolution (分辨率). Low-resolution monitors (including all computer screens until now) have poor readability: people read abou

24、that most e-book publishers do not warn their customers about the real meaning of the digital rights management (DRM) tied to their products. Generally they claim that it is meant to prevent copying of the e-book. However, in many cases it is also possible that it will result in the complete denial

25、of access by the purchaser to the e-book. The e-book is tied to a specific computer or device. In these cases, the DRM will usually let the purchaser move the book a limited number of times after which they cannot use it on any additional devices. If the purchaser upgrades or replaces their devices,

26、 they may lose access to their purchase. Some forms of the DRM depend on the existence of online services to authenticate (认证) the purchasers. When the company that provides the service goes out of business or decides to stop providing the service, the purchaser will no longer be able to access the

32、om watching television. Their research involved more than 11,000 people over the age of 25.Writing in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, they concluded. TV viewing time may be connected with a loss of life, which is similar to other major chronic disease risk factors such as physical inactivity
