Siphila kwixesha apho kunokwenzeka ukuba kukho ukungabikho kokuzibophelela malunga nezihloko ezithile: izibini, izilwanyana zasekhaya kunye ewe, nazo ziincwadi. Ingxoxo-mpikiswano engapheliyo "yokugqiba okanye ukungayigqibi" eso sihloko sifunyenweyo kwilizwe elininzi leencwadi njengenye yezona zikhuthazayo, kuba ngokwezifundo zamva nje Abathengi be-ebook abakwazi ukugqiba uninzi lweencwadi abazithengileyo ngokusebenzisa iivenkile ezikwi-intanethi, unikelo, izaphulelo, ukutshintshiselana, iilayibrari okanye ukhuphelo simahla.
Ininzi kwaye ilungile?
Kwiintsuku zakudala (okanye mhlawumbi kungekude kudala) ukuhlawula i-euro ezili-10 kwincwadi ebonakalayo yayisisizathu esaneleyo sokuyiginya iphelele nokuba besingayithandi kakhulu. Ekugqibeleni, ude waphela uvelana nebali, kodwa wayilola ngcono i-radar yakho xa kusenziwa izihloko ezizayo.
Nangona kunjalo, kuba umhlaba woncwadi utshintshile enkosi kwiincwadi ze-elektroniki, ukusetyenziswa kunye neendlela zokufunda ziye zanikezela ekuthengeni okukhulu kweencwadi ze-ebook ngenxa yamapulatifomu afana ne-Amazon Kindle okanye i-Google Books apho ukufunyanwa kweencwadi ezingangqinelaniyo nenyani yokuba abathengi bazifunda zonke (ndisakhetha iphepha nangona ndizithengisa iincwadi zam kwifomathi ye-elektroniki).
Amaxabiso asezantsi ee-ebook, inani leewebhusayithi onokuthi ukhuphele kuzo iincwadi zasimahla kunye nobukho obukhulu bababhali abatsha kunye namabali abo ahlukeneyo kukhokelele abafundi bale minyaka ilishumi ukuba bakhuphele kwaye bathenge kwimidlalo abayithandayo I-avareji yeencwadi ezingaphezulu kwe-10 ezikhutshelwa rhoqo ngonyaka yinxalenye enkulu yaba bathengi, nangona i-17.9% yazo ifunde ngokulambisa kuphela izihloko ezithathu ezithengiweyo.
Iziphumo zophando olwenziwe liSebe loPhando lweMerca2.0 ziyaqinisekisa ukuba esi siphumo sokuqala silandelwa ngu I-16.3% ifunde iincwadi ezine kuphela, i-14.2% inee-ebook ezintlanu ezipheleleyo kunye ne-12.9% ezigqibe ezimbini kuzo zonke iincwadi ze-e ezithengwe ngonyaka.
Kuludwe lonke, I-5.9% ibonisa abafundi abazinikele kakhulu kwizifundo ezilishumi ezipheleleyo, kwaye nangona kunjalo le datha ayibandakanyi zonke izihloko ezipheleleyo.
Intengiso yeencwadi zeencwadi ikhuthaze imikhwa yabathengi apho ukuthenga okuninzi akuthethi ukuba zonke ziyafundwa. Into enedemokhrasi njengokuba, ukhathazeka?
Ngaba ungomnye wabo bafunda zonke iincwadi kude kube sekupheleni nokuba azikuqinisekisi konke konke?
Molo Alberto.
Ndiyayithanda incwadi yephepha ngcono kwaye ndinomfundi we-e-book.
Kwaye okwenzekileyo kum kwiminyaka embalwa ngoku kukuba ndithenga iincwadi zomzimba, ndiqala ukuzifunda kwaye andizigqibi (hayi kuba ndingenamdla) kwaye ndiya kwabanye. Ayizange yenzeke loo nto kum ngaphambili.
Kwelinye icala, ndingomnye wabo bacinga ukuba akukho ngqiqweni (ukuyithetha ngentlonipho yonke) ukufunda incwadi kude kube sekupheleni ukuba awuyithandi kuba uncwadi luyonwabisa, uyolo, hayi uxanduva. Ukuba uya kwindawo yokutyela kwaye ukutya abakunika kona akukubangeli umdla, awukutyi de ipleyiti yakho icoceke. Ewe kuyafana kufuneka kusoloko kusenziwa nemisebenzi esingadibani nayo. Kulungile ukuqala incwadi kwaye uyibeke phantsi kwaye uthathe enye (nokuba yeyodidi okanye ubugcisa). Andazi ukuba kutheni abanye okanye abantu abaninzi benyanzelekile ukuba bayigqibe. Inomdla kakhulu. Kwaye ndiyarhana ukuba oku akwenzeki ngemovie okanye ingoma okanye irekhodi.
Inyaniso yokuba zininzi iincwadi ezikhutshelweyo ezingasokuze zifundwe kamva ayibonakali iyandikhathaza. Yinto enye yolwazi eqinisekisa i-maelstrom yabathengi apho sihlala khona iminyaka emininzi. Kukho abantu abanamawaka namawaka eengoma kwii-iPod zabo abangasokuze bamamele. Kukuzonwabisa kwengqondo okuza nokwazi ukuba unazo zonke izinto oziqokelelele apho.

Molo Alberto, kwimeko yam ndihlala ndifunda iincwadi kude kube sekupheleni, kodwa kukho amaxesha apho ndiye ndayeka ukufunda xa isifundo sindidika, andixhomekekanga okanye ukuba indlela yokubhala inzima kakhulu okanye iphazamisekile. Kule mihla, kunqabile amaxesha okuba ndithenge iincwadi ezingakhange ndizifunde ngaphambili kwaye ndisazi ukuba zilungile. Ndifunde okuninzi kuhlobo lwam kwaye xa ndizifumana zitshiphu ndiyazithenga.
Ngeencwadi ezininzi ezikhutshelweyo, ebendingazukufunda iminyaka eliwaka ukuba bendiphila, kuyinyani ukuba umntu uyakhetha ngakumbi kwaye aphelelwe ngumonde.
Kwaye nangona abanye bethu bebevela kwisizukulwana "sokugqibezela yonke ipleyiti" kwaye bebaxa, akubonakali ngathi kukuqonda kwangaphambili ukukroba kwipleyiti ukuya kwipleyiti kunye nokudubula kuba kuyinto eqhelekileyo ukugqiba oko kuqalile.
Kodwa ndibona into embi kum: ukuba ndifunda kancinane; kuninzi ekufuneka uyifundile, ndifunde kancinci, yintoni engalunganga gqirha?
