Social Times: Is There No Balance Between New & Old Media?

Charlie · 1 year ago

The kindle is fine and all, but it should be able to use for free any text content that I can get for free using my computer. And technical manuals that I download as ordinary pdfs, whether free or purchased, should display on it.

If they do that, I'll probably get one.

I personally think that there will always be people who prefer reading their books as books, so I disagree with the above statement. Will everything eventually be available online, yes; will it be cheaper online, again, yes. But as long as POD keeps getting cheaper and there are consumers for the print platform, print will not be dead.
