Both are medium, one for the written form of the word and the other for the spoken form.
On the one hand, we had mobile as the technology of the future that was an evolved form of landlines, on the other hand, we have ebooks that look like cell phones for printing.
After the addition of mobile, e-books were already felt by Indian landlines in the case of printed books while disseminating news abroad.
Online bookstore in India
Online bookstores have been criticized for influencing reading habits around the world. But have they also influenced the Indian landscape? To assess its impact, let us discuss the changes in reading habits in India.

Checking vocabulary
Analysis for solidarity

With more online bookstores in India and Indian writers appealing to readers’ senses, such as imagining or inspiring public debate, there are better things to come in the future.
