The evolutions to the computer age have had an impact on the traditional book publishing industry by the use of e-books, e-commerce on the Internet, books on demand, self-publishing, and digitization of printed books. E-readers and other larger mobile devices facilitate the acquisition of reading material on demand, and anywhere. Cyber-libraries put millions of titles in the hands of many.
