Where do you think the concept of book-reading will go?

With the availability of Kindle and downloadable literary files, are YOU still buying a tangible, made-out-of-paper book?

Will hardcover and paperbacks never go out of style?

I will always continue to buy a book...I don't think books will ever go out of style. I have no interest in buying a Kindle.

I am sure that books will be here for a while

I think that physical books have a lot of advantages... one of the greatest being that their batteries don't die.

I envision the books of the future as being a combination of physical, paper books and electronic books. They might even be real, bound books with electronic paper, so you can have one "real" book that can hold thousands of electronic books, so you can have the convenience of e-books with the feel of paper books.

I also believe that books will be around for a long time Gail. Have you tried reading a book on your computer? I think its very restricking, and hard to read on a 17 inch monitor. Now try reading that on the kindle which is even smaller. These other things might have its pros but I think they have more cons.

WITH a book you can hold it in your hand and carry
it with you if you want to go some

There is something so organic about the smell and feel of a book. I hope they never go away.

last time we moved my wife started counting our books when she was unpacking. She gave up when she got to 1200. I am now banned from thrift stores, flea markets, and yard sales.

I'm glad to see that people still like the nostalgic feel of a real book with pages.

I was asked this question the other day... While I love my Kindle, I don't think I would use it for researching something nor for Bible reading. It's for FREE books.
