Hello Friends!! Today, September 18 is known as Read An eBook Day. . . Every year, this day is observed to celebrate the 24/7 reading accessibility and ease that eBooks offer. To learn more about the history of Read An eBook Day, we visited nationaltoday.com –
The idea of an eBook was born in 1930 after Rob Brown watched his first talkie — movies with sound. . .
In 1949, a Spanish teacher, Angela Ruiz Robles invented the first automated book reader, the Enciclopedia Mecánica. Texts and graphics were loaded onto the device using spools and operated with compressed air. . .
Despite Robles’ invention, it would take 22 years for the first eBook to appear, and that was by a stroke of luck and the introduction of the internet. . .
In 2014, OverDrive got the idea to create a day to celebrate the existence of eBooks. . .
Here at Boo-Shaw Bakery, we strongly encourage taking the time to read and learn more any time you have the opportunity. And grabbing some Boo-Shaw Bakery Cookies and an eBook sounds like the perfect way to do this!!
