Are you a hugger or do you need your space?

Do you think books will ever be replaced by digital media?

JillianBillington @JillianBillington (92) • Australia 8 Apr 07

With the amount of digital media available to us, do you think society will eventually do all their reading on some sort of electronic media. Will we eventually have no use for paper books?

9 responses

shadowwriter I hope not there's nothing better or more powerful than the written word. I realy hope you are wrong about society eventually having no need for paper books. There can be room for both, if not I will never move on from the written books.

shadowwriter You have fantastic taste. I love Richard Laymon and The Traveling Vampire Show was the first I read. Before reading Laymon I found characters cardboard like. But he has a flair for creating characters. When buying new books he is the first person I look for.
