This process of 'consuming' the 'contents' may possibly further evolve in future(?) when a hypothetical concept of science fiction comes true to life where you would be able to 'transfer' the contents of single/multiple/(thousands of) 'books' to your brain within a moment, connecting it to a host computer through some wired (weird ?) connection.
I wonder whether we shall still be feeling the 'pleasure' of reading the books, which we feel now, once that hypothetical situation becomes reality.
