I do not believe that books will ever be a “thing of the past”. I think it will remain an option. I really enjoying they physical aspects of a book. The turning of the pages, the loaning to a friend. Ebooks are nice for travel, but not my first choice.
Kelly
I love reading. I use my e-reader for my Bible. I do tend to like traditional books, but I love having my Bible on the e-reader. It allows for me to quickly move throughout to different passages, and can highlight without damaging a real Bible.

I do think paper books will go the way of video cassettes. I like that so many trees will be saved and information can travel so instantly, but I sure will miss leafing through pages and having something that won’t shatter when you step on it!

I asked my friends to see which people preferred. Overwhelmingly people like the new e-readers. I have a couple friends that are avid readers and they both like that they can be more eco-friendly and not have so many books with so many pages, but have a little tablet to read instead.
Pam Rote
no some people still love the feel of paper in their hands
rachel
No, books are awesome!!
latanya
Yes, I do
Jeanine
I shudder to think it could happen, but I think more and more are drawn to using Kindles, etc. rather than carrying books around. Not this girl!

I don’t think ‘real’ books will become obsolete any time soon. I love ebooks, but I also love the feel of reading a ‘real’ book, too. I think they might be obsolete in the FAR future.
latanya
I think it will take some time for all books to go away.
Jeanine
I hate to think it could, but probably yes!
Kelly
I have noticed that I do use my e-reader a lot. It is so convenient and I often do not even realize I am using it. I have a lot of reference books on my e-reader and those are quite handy. The “real” books would be quite heavy to carry around.
Jeanine
I hope not but they probably will at some point.
Jeanine
I’d guess it would be a distinct possibility
Kelly
Today I found out that our local library “borrows” ebooks as well as “real” books. So exciting.
Jeanine
Well, I think they’ll become extinct at some point, but not anytime soon!
Jeanine
I sure hope not!
Jeanine
I don’t think books will be going anywhere anytime soon!
Kelly
Just rented my first e-book. I usually buy my ebooks but today I decided to rent one and see how I liked it. I am very excited.
Jeanine
I like ereaders but I don’t want to lose the feel of a good book in my hands!
Jeanine
I don’t want to see books become obsolete. The feeling of a good book under your fingers can’t be imitated with a piece of plastic- it’s just not the same!
Jeanine
Not anytime soon, I hope!
Jeanine
I’d really hate to see books become obsolete!
Anya N.
Not at all! People like me will still own books; I’ll always love the musty smell of old paperbacks and the crackle of the spine as I open a new novel!
Jeanine
Not anytime soon, I hope!!
Jeanine
I love reading and I enjoy Kindles but I don’t like the idea of not having books!
Jeanine
I can’t imagine a world without books!
Jeanine
I can’t even think about it! I love books too much!
