But books in the printed form will never become obsolete.

I might have to agree with you on this. That is one of the problems of not having books in print because of the print cost. But I love to read paper book and that would make a lot of people sad that they will not get books in hands.SilentWords wrote: ↑13 Oct 2009, 10:58 With the Amazon Kindle and Sony Readers becoming more and more popular, the realization that printed books will become non-existent is becoming more palatable. You can buy a book on Kindle for $10 in some cases, whereas you'd have to spend at least $25 for a book in print... the prices of the Kindles will drop, and people will start to buy them more, and pretty soon people will start to sell pirated copies for free. Authors will get paid less, and pretty soon, they won't want to write anymore... their printed works will be replaced with free downloadable versions and cheaper copies.
That's just my opinion... what are yours?
