What a contentious issue this is... people have such very strong opinions about the act of reading a book or a newspaper. I'm on the fence about this. I think that economically, environmentally, the digital option is the best for the future. However, I will agree that there is something very tactile and grounding about reading something that is physically printed. Personally, I think it'll go like this... Books will never become obsolete. However, they may at some point attain the "cult" status that items like LPs have achieved. Stylishly anachronistic.
Check out this competition for the future of digital reading.
