Is the Book Dead?
Tuesday, October 12th, 2010There is a widespread fear that books may disappear with the advent of digital books (download ebooks here). While there are many advantages to digital books the likelihood that they will completely take over the book market is remote, however possible. The debate is heated as to if/when digital will take over and both sides have some valid points. Will children switch to electronic books at the tender age of two? Will paper become in such short supply that printing books will no longer be economical? Are books antiquated and no longer a valued source of information? These are a few of the questions being raised and only time will tell what the future holds for the beloved book.
