[neverending]

I agree with Sean. It really depends on how you define "book." Ereaders are really marvelous things. In one little device you can carry hundreds of books and you didn't have to sacrifice any trees to do so. They are convenience personified.

On the other hand, there will always be people who want the unique pleasure of holding a thing printed on paper, and also collectors. It's the same impulse as people who buy hundreds of blu-rays- many that they don't even watch. They want the THING.

There will always be books- whether in digital or physical form. The bookstore, however, may be doomed. Pundits are predicting the collapse of Barnes and Noble as early as next year.
