Are books finally outdated?

[Skilero]

Books will not be outdated for quite some time, but they will lose footing so much that I predict bookstores will be in very short supply in the next thirty-five or forty years from now.

[Crimson Phoenix]

Oh I hope books never become out-dated, I like being able to just sit on the couch, kick my feet up and read a good book.

[Miss Moonlight]

No. Never. E-readers can die a burny death.

[SuXrys]

No, I wouldn't think so. I think and belive that books will always be around, more or less.
It gives you an entire different feeling reading a book, then reading on a screen.

[Immoral]

With time books will become outdated and the strain on our eyes will become greater.

[Aulos]

Not to me. I don't have any of those eReader things that are specifically built to read digital books, nor do I have any tablets.

I feel like digital should be there on the side, but it shouldn't replace physical media. Think of it with manga, with digital manga there's a lot of potential - manga chapters being simultaneously released with Japan, and more obscure manga getting a chance to be released over here. We already have a site covering the second, which is great. However, I still want to physically own my manga when I can. Just because I know that computers and stuff can break without warning.
