I read both digital and print books. I am on BookBub and often buy books for .99-1.99 that I want to see if I like. I feel like I can explore new authors without spending a lot of money. However, if I love an author I want his/her books on my shelf! I still love reading print books.

Well I don't think so printed books still reign especially in the educational institutions.

E-books have sure become popular but print books will continue to remain because I've heard from many that they experience the true joy and feeling of actually reading a book when they have a physical copy in hand and not the electronic one.

Your explanation makes so much sense, but I will always prefer printed books.

I think print books still have enough demand. However, more and more people prefer to read digitally and are publishing digitally.

It is right that ebooks are very much taking over the literature bit paperbacks have their own importance which cannot be denied in any way, they still have their own feeling

Yeah printed books are fading out. But I am a guy who is fond of paper books. I love ebooks. I think we shouldn't forget that there are a significant number of folks who hate e-books. Paper books have a long history with human being and have a unique feeling. So I wish they survive, as long as I'm alive!

Though I love the flexibility that comes with reading ebooks, printed books will always be my favourite.
