What is the arrangement of the books in the library?

Libraries are often arranged by some sort of numeric or alpha-numeric system that corresponds to subject areas. The 2 common arrangement systems in North America are the Dewey Decimal system and the Library of Congress classification. There are other forms of classification systems, including the Universal Decimal Classification system and the Colon Classification system created by Ranganathan.

How much easier is it today to carry around and read books?

Well the first books available to the general public were in traveling libraries. The books were not only both large and heavy but were considered so expensive and valuable that they were physically chained to the library shelf they were kept on in the horse drawn wagon that transported the traveling library from town to town. The reader could not carry them around nor remove them from the traveling library, they had to be read at the traveling library. Now people can have the equivalent of a personal library of many tens of thousands of electronic books in one device they can carry in a pocket, if they so choose. These electronic books are very inexpensive. Even if a person chooses to stay with conventional paper books, they are easy to obtain, easy to carry, and you can own as many as you want.
