Maybe... but will paper really be a better medium for image display? Your comments sound a lot like the "I won't give up the feel and smell of paper" argument. However, with better display technology, an image can be clearer, and can even be further manipulated for better examination (e.g. zoomed, shifted, etc).
Besides, when I see a beautiful painting, I don't need to
touch it. Just see it.
Personally, I can see coffee table books going away someday--hey, they only appeared as luxury items when quality paper became available--to be replaced by displays embedded in walls and tables. We're not that far from being able to convert an entire wall into one, big display, able to show us anything we want to see, at full size, in any combinations.
How could that
not be better than displaying shrunken versions of fine art in a book?
