I will never want to live without books, it's a physical think you can hold in your hand, the paper has a beautiful surface and it has a scent, so it's much more personal. No doubt, the numbers of books will diminish and the multimedia applications on the web will increase, but books won't get extinct. At least i hope so ;) books and web content will co-exist.
