Source: From Books to Ebooks and Back: The Future of Literary Consumption Is Unwritten
I think if we are honest here we all kind of guessed the that the ebook was never going to wipe out the full experience of having the real, physical, tactile item in your hand.
Don’t get us wrong here, we see the merits in all the various ways that allow us to consume or be consumed by the latest scribblings of our favorite authors. A straw pole here in the office proved that all of the various options available our there today have there place.
The bookworms amongst us would favour the physical item every time but practically if, for instance, you do a lot of travelling, carrying a weeks worth of your fav’s in your suitcase really isn’t practical so it’s off to your favoured download site you go.And lets face it, the number of books you can fit on some of these devices should never leave you wanting,
I think it is more than safe to say the paperback’s are here to stay!
