Club Adventist

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

Where do you think the concept of book-reading will go?

With the availability of Kindle and downloadable literary files, are YOU still buying a tangible, made-out-of-paper book?

Will hardcover and paperbacks never go out of style?

I will always continue to buy a book...I don't think books will ever go out of style. I have no interest in buying a Kindle.

I think that physical books have a lot of advantages... one of the greatest being that their batteries don't die.

I envision the books of the future as being a combination of physical, paper books and electronic books. They might even be real, bound books with electronic paper, so you can have one "real" book that can hold thousands of electronic books, so you can have the convenience of e-books with the feel of paper books.

I also believe that books will be around for a long time Gail. Have you tried reading a book on your computer? I think its very restricking, and hard to read on a 17 inch monitor. Now try reading that on the kindle which is even smaller. These other things might have its pros but I think they have more cons.
