Forget thinking the Kindle started it all. Marie Lebert's book takes us back to the very beginning, long before Amazon was even a company. It follows the dream of digital reading from its first, clunky ideas in the 1970s to the revolution we live in now.
The Story
Lebert doesn't just give us dates and names. She shows us the people—the programmers, librarians, and writers who believed books could live on screens. We see their early experiments, like Project Gutenberg typing books by hand, and the big roadblocks they hit. The story is really about a clash of worlds: tech visionaries pushing forward, and a traditional publishing industry unsure if this new thing was friend or foe. It's the long, messy journey of an idea becoming something we all use.
Why You Should Read It
I loved this because it made me appreciate my e-reader so much more. Knowing the struggle behind it gives the device a soul. Lebert connects the dots in a way that's easy to follow, highlighting moments that changed everything. You realize that the convenience we have today was won through decades of effort, debate, and trial-and-error. It turns the gadget in your bag from a simple tool into a piece of living history.
Final Verdict
Perfect for curious readers who finish a book on their tablet and wonder, 'How did this happen?' It's also great for anyone interested in how technology slowly changes our daily habits. You don't need to be a tech expert. If you enjoy a good underdog story or learning the hidden history of everyday things, this book is a fascinating and surprisingly human read.
