Re: Are Books Disappearing?
A book is like nothing else. Smelling the hint of vanilla while turning the pages of an old book imparts upon you a particularly comforting feeling as you discover whats lies within it bindings. The pleasure that we all experience when reading a physical copy of a book and not the digitized version is what will keep books from completely disappearing from our homes and our lives for as long as humans exist.

Physical, paper books may never disappear, it's clear that people love the feel and the smell of a new book and all the feelings it holds inside. The good thing about an e-book however, is how readily available it is. If you're itching to go out and get that new book but you can't, it can be downloaded almost straight away.
Personally I'm torn, I have an e-reader but I still pick a book up in a store every now and then. There's nothing wrong with a healthy mix of the two. I don't think books will ever disappear though, just like records are again increasing in popularity despite the intensity of the digital music world.
We will always be sentimental.

And part of the mystery of choosing a proper book is finding it accidentally, which you cannot do with an E listing where you have to know what you want, who wrote it etc or you would wander forever among stunted summaries which do not replace opening a real book, feeling the pages, crouching near the bottom of a stack to read a chapter or two surrounded by rows and rows of enticing books.
The E store is not the same thing at all!

Don't think it will affect whether people will continue to write. Authors write because they want to write. Many don't need to for the money. It is just their self expression. . . their creative side coming out.
