For most of the world books will become mostly obsolete because the technology is so convenient. However there will 'always' be die hard old schoolers that love the quality of a book: Easier on the eyes, feels more substantial to hold, smells interesting, easier to actually read and flip between pages, etc.
I love the convenience of my Kindle but it's not quite the same as reading an actual book. It's often hard to see images/charts/graphs clearly and flip between pages.
But when I travel there's no comparison. I don't want to carry clunky books around. Instead I have one kindle with hundreds of books and documents on there.
I don't use my laptop to pleasure read because the screen is very hard on my eyes.
Do you think books will become obsolete?
