Just as true audiophiles still use vinyl, true bibliophile will stand by the paper book. There will be a place for the paper book with collectors and connoisseurs and therefore the opportunity for those in the hoi ploi to discover the delights of such rich and traditional materials. The book is not dead it will go back to its medieval roots of exclusivity. -
