Everyone thought that Videos would mean the end of the cinema, but that hasn’t turned out to be the case. I think the same will happen between ebooks and paper books – they will both happily co-exist.
For many – particularly the younger ones – paperbacks are indeed a thing of the past – but what a shame, there is nothing more delightful than curling up on the couch on a cold winter’s night with a good book or, indeed, lying under a shady tree on a warm summer’s day whiling away the time with a great novel!
I think for some people they are a thing of the past, but definitely not for me or my friends and relatives that read. I love swapping books with friends and relatives, it works out cheaper and feels good to share. The books get donated to charity when we are done and you can’t do that with an ebook. I personally love getting a new book, crisp and a nice smell and love the feeling of turning the pages.
I hope not! I love my physical books. And enjoy being able to share them with friends and family, rather than just sending a link or buying a download.
I’ll never give up on my books, there is something special about the feel and smell of a book. Plus, I spend enough time looking at a screen during the day, I don’t want to do it when I’m trying to relax.
Indeed… And the smell of a new book. It’s something that an ereader doesn’t give you.
And, with a paper book, you don’t have the risk of low batteries.
