The Kindle has been a major invention to replace the use of books, however this could be devastating to libraries and major book companies such as Waterstones and WHSmiths. Instead of going to public libararies and taking books out, or using book shops, instead, (with a Kindle) can download and pay for the book they want. However, Kindles are only available to people who can afford one, whereas libraries are free to the public.
Libraries may be able to reverse the consequences of Kindle's 'take over' by improving services in the library, or making them more appealing to a wide range of audiences.
