No, no, no....books are here to stay. I couldn't stand it without the feel of gorgeous soft aged paper that makes a sound when you turn it. Frightful! LOL<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the Farenheit 451-induced nightmarish thought, but let's vote to keep books---maybe only in small owner bookshops that serve great cocoa and have comfortable chairs. tehe<BR/><BR/>PS: Cool online name.

However, I don't think they will stop exsisting because many people do like them and also because libraries promote them.

However, I don't see in any near future a total disappearance of paper books. I actually think this may be a good trend in a way. Have you been in a bookstore lately? There is a lot of crap there. A lot. Maybe this trend will reduce the inventory of paper books to only those truly great titles etc.<BR/>That is my hope. Then it might be easier for me to find something I want to read in the bookstore. As it is now walking into Barnes and Noble is overwhelming.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13804608471406748553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401276.post-77242394713576684892008-12-06T12:47:00.000-07:002008-12-06T12:47:00.000-07:00I truly hope soI truly hope soOkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393689307300304035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401276.post-40351585324466710262008-12-06T08:13:00.000-07:002008-12-06T08:13:00.000-07:00As long as we out here, we lovers of real in-our-h...As long as we out here, we lovers of real in-our-hands books, keep showing a demand for the real thing, we will get the real thing, I suspect.
