This article is about the future of reading, not how you all feel now. It&#x27;s obviously very difficult to disassociate our own feelings for a print book from that of future readers. Can you delineate between what is subjective affection and what is objective? Probably not. For now, print is the superior medium. But in 20 years? Really?<p>The truth is, ebooks are the future of reading. Eventually they will replace all (well, 99%) of all purchasing habits. Not for us, but for millennials, certainly.<p>There is very little downside to eBooks for either the reader or the publisher. For the publisher, the same costs still apply as developing a full book. It&#x27;s circa 15% cheaper because the only thing you miss is printing and distribution - often the cheapest part of the publishing process.<p>For the reader, we&#x27;re talking about &quot;remembering where something is&quot; or similar. That can be solved by a better implementation by the e-reader. Battery life will be solved in the near (years, not months) future. Why can&#x27;t they be &quot;foldable&quot; in the future? Nothing I&#x27;ve read so far is achievable from eBooks with the correct implementation. The advantages of print will be worn down to a point where there is no advantage other than nostalgia in pursuing print.
