Maybe it's just me, but I prefer the old paper and glue variety you can only lose in a fire. It must be all those memories of the big 1980s floppy disks currently serving as coasters.
Happy 2011 and best wishes for many sales to all,

If I bought an ebook, it would need to be one that I could transfer to any reader or my pc.
But yes Dzambo and Bykimbo are right.
The trend will be towards ebooks.
Many younger ones hardly use email these days!
But I do love real books, and like so many of us have far too many that I never read again.
Me too. But if you fancy the idea of Amazon strolling into your home and quietly setting fire to your bookshelf, go ahead and get yourself a Kindle!Originally Posted by suesjools

Well real Books is real Books that's ok, I just say if you are in the Business Selling real Books times are changing and changing very fast and not anymore that Business is profitable and shipping for the real Books is the real nightmare and in most of cases cost more of any price of Book.......and Buyers know that too...and in the Postal Services rates for shipping going up every time in short time just is not more profitable....
That's another problem I have with online "management" of info.; as an ex librarian I've had my share of headaches dealing with licensing issues, costs, database restrictions and other so-called progressive aspects of the digital revolution.Me too.

I've nothing against electronic books (heck, at least folks are reading something) but don't fancy them myself, not til a good number of issues are more settled than they are at present.

I prefer old fashioned books though ebooks are also useful sometimes for ease of getting hold of.
