The Purpose of Symbolism in the Book of Revelation I really enjoyed how the article started off with talking about how we as humans need something radical to get our attention.

topic that I have chosen is the debate that Books are better that eBooks‚ Kindles and iProducts to read off. I would like to say that I don’t think that eBooks aren’t a bad thing and that should be banned‚ but that they aren’t the best way of reading.
