Not only are “old” record stores experiencing a comeback, but new vinyl records are being produced at a higher price.
For similar reasons books will never disappear.

For me the only way the get rid of papaer books is to burn them (like in Farenheit 451). But I'm not sure it could occur.
Another element is that the whole population won't have access to a e-reader since some people can't read and some other don't have access to the internet.

- Latest Review: "Overcome Anxiety" by Elisabetta Reist
That being said, I read the majority of my books on an ereader. I have a small house, prone to dust. Books would clutter it up. I like the amount I can read with an ereader, and you can find many new, good authors (which could have been rejected by print publishers), but I usually buy my favourite books in print anyway. Imagine there was a power outage for days and your ereader went out. At least you'd have a comforting collection of real books at home.
