I am sure both will co-exist together, but I do despair for the high-street book retailer, I can see them being squeezed out of the market-place altogether, not because of the decline of paper book sales, so much as them being unable to compete on price with on-line stores.

Well, I think that all of us here are in agreement with one thing - that an e-book cannot give the same joy and convenience as reading a paper book. I almost always prefer to read from print rather than screen. However, sometimes, when I am reading a book (or a document that I have taken a printout of), I rather miss the "find" button :-))Sigmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300547373292021313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31060699.post-64062646448556275232007-05-24T13:19:00.000+05:302007-05-24T13:19:00.000+05:30I really like this way of commenting and express o...I really like this way of commenting and express opinions.
