I would hope so. There is something wonderful about a book. While the Kindle and its clones have their purpose, the problem is with privacy, specifically privacy of what you read. Amazon keeps all sort of statistics on Kindle readers. To the best of my knowledge Amazon and others still have the ability to retrieve all e-books on the machine. The story of the Old Soviet Encyclopedia, where the annual update would require the destruction of "historic facts" in the prior version.

I can see the tracking of individuals by what they read. Tracking of book purchases, via electronic account and the GPS data that are in book reader raises privacy problems. In an America with 32 Czars all seeking to retain and expand their power. Tracing people who read a book on mushrooms, generation of spores, Nitrate Chemistry, firearms ancient and modern --- may lead to the boot on the door.

Buying books for cash at a book store is more difficult to trace.

Hello:

The books will never be stopped reading any topic.There are some cold weather out there that we have to be able to wait and would need patience until my turn will be healthy.

My 83 year old mother, my 55 year old wife and my kids all use kindles now. Finally, text books are going in that direction.
A lot of polution and destruction occurs in the production of a book - let them go.
