One thing that ereaders can't replicate yet are kids books - with pictures. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 6, 12:56 6
- "Pat the Bunny" loses a lot of its point. :) -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 12:57 3
  - Great example, touch and feel books. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 6, 12:58 2
    - (or smell etc.) -- nm - Don Homer Aug 6, 12:58 1

Please don't misunderstand. I think they are cool. For some people. - TFox Aug 6, 12:53 17
- 5 years is pie in the sky nonsense. But eventually surplanting the physical book to something like vinyl records? Sure. -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 12:55 13
  - Not really, recordings aren't the same physical experience reading is. - the liioulu with Aug 6, 12:59 4
    - and there are people that swear vinyl records sound better. Same thing. - Reagen Aug 6, 13:03 3
      - i actually saw a thing about a music prof who blind tests his kids on what sounds best to them..... - xi Aug 6, 13:06 2
        
        Yep. I remember that research. Tinny mp3s sounded best to young people. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 6, 13:07 1
        
        If it's something I've listened to on vinyl, the mp3s are severely lacking. - the liioulu with Aug 6, 13:15
  - We want to talk 50 years, cool. I'm not Nostradamus. But nothing that even approaches "soon". -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 12:59 7
    - probably not that long. I'd say 15-20. -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 13:02 6
      - like, its been 10 years since the iPod was invented. CDs? not close to dead. - TFox Aug 6, 13:03 5
        
        My (physical) CD purchases have all but gone away. Maybe 5 in the last 5 years. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 6, 13:09
        
        i haven't bought a cd in *years*. - Andie Aug 6, 13:09
        
        it's a dead format walking. -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 13:07 2
        
        aka "not dead". -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 13:10 1
        
        what seems to be happening is that there's an accelerated curve on each new development - Reagen Aug 6, 13:14
- What's your opinion on the newspaper? -- nm - oblique Aug 6, 12:54 2
  - I think it has a shorter time in this world, but its a different experience. Shorter articles, more disposable. - TFox Aug 6, 12:58 1
    - Actually for newspapers, it might be more local or regional, with the caveat that they actually report news. - the liioulu with Aug 6, 13:19
