I find it quite interesting that so many people are quick to renounce printed media, given how many people here will buy guides for games and artbooks, irrespective of the fact that the same information is available online (And free normally).
No matter how good the Kindle thing claims to be display-wise, I'm guessing that it's not as easy to read in extremes of light and dark as print in a book is, although I could of course be wrong. Until there's an e-reader that you can use in direct, bright sunlight and that's sand proof, people will always buy books to take on holiday and read on the beach, it's as simple as that. Whilst I'm sure the market for digital books will grow over time, I don't believe that'll come at much cost to the market for physical books for a good 50 years or so. Most amazing jew boots  |

As well as older things that aren't scanned in keeping paper alive, books will also always find a use in the military, due to their unique ability to withstand EMP pulses.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
