The World of Words by Elias Tobias is 11 years old, and has been on the Internet for 11 continuous years. While the content has been expanded in its new format with a newer host, the mission of the web site has not changed. The purpose of the web site, now in blog format, is to promote the words of poet Elias Tobias, and a steady following, international in nature, has been developed. We appreciate the growth of the readership, and the goal of an average daily count of unique visitors of 2.5 million viewers by the end of the year is certainly a realistic goal. These numbers are great and we hope the trend continues throughout the coming months. If you have any comments to make, please go to contact@eliastobias.net.

Technology is making reading books from the Internet easier with the increased use of e-books or electronic books. The media has reported that applications available for Blackberry devices can quickly download books and Amazon has a new book-reading device called Kindle.
