[QUOTE="cachsux, post: 877372, member: 5529"] Whats a book? The ability to read and the source material used to learn it are two different things. Our local library, while still purchasing books, has allocated part of its budget to purchasing electronic versions of books as well. This allows more than one person at a time to read that book but also the ability to purchase far more titles than they possibly ever could if they had to buy a "real" book. The ability to now store them is infinite. The loss in value due to wear and tear is gone. Membership has increased because now books can be downloaded from home to anyone with a library card. The days of a printed reading material are coming to a close. [/QUOTE]
