I love tea and this giveaway is perfect for summer. As for the question above, I don’t think e-readers will make printed books obsolete. I feel that although e-readers are convenient, there’s something about sitting on a bench under a tree with a paperback book that just can’t be replaced. At least, not for me.
I really hope that they dont – I love BOOKS
I think they will make books obsolete, but books are better.
I don’t think e-readers will ever eliminate books
I have an e-reader and love it. That being said I still enjoy going to the library or the book store and handling an actual book. The library has a peaceful, relaxing quality that just makes me want to sit in a chair and read a book (which I frequently do). I currently have a book in progress on my e-reader and a hard copy book. Love both and hope neither goes away. They each serve a different purpose. I am trying to instill a love of books in my grandchildren and so far they are cooperating.
Thanks Roasted Beanz, you’re top shelf!
I don’t think ereaders will make books obsolete but just add to the options for reading to all.
I hope e-readers do not make books obsolete. Both the e-readers and actual books both have their pros, but to replace actual books would be horrible.
I surely hope they don’t! I love the feel of a real book and turning the pages,not to mention the lovely book smell!
I do not think e-readers will replace books. I think e-readers are great to have in addition to books.
I don’t think that books will become completely obsolete; too many people like the tactile aspect of a book with paper in it, the smell, etc. Also, travellers still use paper books because it’s a real pain when you lose your Kindle or get your Nook stolen somewhere. Also, books don’t need electricity or a recharge!
I hope real books will be with us for eternity.
E-readers are great for travel as well – you can take an endless amount with you as opposed to taking a lot of books. Regardless, real books have been around for centuries and I hope they will continue to be.
I hope books are never obsolete.
I don’t think E-readers will make books obsolete, but I do think E-Readers are great to have especially when traveling.
I hope “real books” are here to stay indefinitely.
I do not think E-Readers will make books obsolete.
Nothing can replace real books.
E-readers are a great invention. I received one as a gift and love it. But, I still love my books as well.
Books are here to stay.
The sale of E-readers has skyrocketed, but I still think that real books will always be around.
Actual books have been here for centuries, I don’t think they will ever be obsolete.
I do not think that ereaders will eliminate the need for actual books.
Some books are truly priceless (literally), I never want to see actual books become obsolete.
I don’t think E-readers will books obsolete.
MAKES READING EASIER
With an actual book, you can hear the crackle of the page as it turns, you can smell the leather in a hardcover book… these things can not be found in an E-reader. There’s nothing like an actual book.
E-readers are real convenient to take with you on the go. The great thing about them is you can take so many with you in your e-readers. Granted actual books that would be difficult to do, but I don’t think they will ever be obsolete.
E-readers will never replace actual books if I have anything to do with it! ๐ I love my Kindle, but nothing beats a book in your hands, particularly those ‘special’ books you’ve been waiting a year+ for. (Hint, hint, Laurie R. King!)
Yes I do…remember the dewy decimal system? By the wayside
One thing that’s definitely a “con” with E-readers and that is if you drop it, it usually doesn’t work any more. If you drop a book, that is not the case.
Unfortunately, I do.
