Are we headed toward a world without a paper printed hard copy book?

[sherryinutah]

I love holding a hard copy of a book when I read.  I'm old school; however, I have started downloading the Kindle version when a hard copy of a book that I want to read is unavailable. 

I think it's similar to mail from the post office; as opposed to email.  There are still reasons why people use snail mail so it's nice to have both options.

I doubt it.  Not everyone has smart phones or tablets.  I like both.  The ebooks are cool because I can have 50 books in my phone and take them with me any where.  When is the last time you tried to carry 50 books in your back pocket. lol

The ways things are going it looks like everything will be electronically, books will be extinct.

I doubt it there will always be more and more stuff printed out.

None

Most likely. Although I like having physical books, digital books have made it easier for me. Either viewing on the go, space, and also limiting the amount of silverfish I see in my house.

     Ancient books: Look and read some of them before they are gone...because unfortunately we lose some of them in floods and fires.

Yes, it's going to probably be all ebooks in the future.

As long as there is a demand for paperback books even a small contingent there will always be paperback books
