User Scifiseries publishes a text excerpt :
"The books were crystals with recorded contents. They could be read with the aid of an opton, which was similar to a book but had only one page between the covers. At a touch, successive pages of the text appeared on it."
User Mugasofer adds:
"Return from the Stars, by Stanislaw Lem, published 1961."

The initial excerpt is published as a picture of a Kindle!
@Vive_Levant @ZySoua Find one called A Logic Named Joe, from around 1948. It describes the Internet in some detail, and the plot is that the access controls fail and the system will tell you or show you anything you ask for. Merry havoc ensues until the protagonist figures out which plug to pull to make it stop.
The author nails several of the Internet's dark sides.
