But then again this is Mobileread, and people here have to make everything into some controversy to argue over.

During my lifetime books have been killed off by:

Radio - who wanted to be bothered reading once you could just sit and listen?
Movies - they killed reading even quicker.
TV - clearly nobody would need another book once the box came along.
Computers -I think we all know how Bill Gates killed books almost single handed.
Video Games - it's well known that nobody under 40 has read anything since they arrived.
Audio books - why bother turning page when somebody can do it for you.

Books have been dead for so long now - and killed so many times too - that so called booksellers now get prosecuted for necrophilia. Don't they?
