It's hard to say whether or not newspapers will soon be nonexistent, since there were predictions that by the very beginning of the 21st century that there would be no papers in offices... and look at offices now that we're here. I think we just like hard copies of things as well as digital ones now that both are available.

I'd rather read news from the newspaper than read digital newspapers. I remember reading that the mind process the same information from different sources differently. I think info read from a hard copy is processed differently than the one read from a digital copy

Sounds familiar.
I love reading, and the easiness of the Kindle looks awesome, but I'm still hesitant to buy it because I love the feeling of holding a real book in my hand and turning real pages.

Yes I am tempted too... to buy kindle just so I can have all my books in one place and can carry them all with me, but then reading an actual book is much more enjoyable. There's something about the way books smell :D... you don't get that with kindle :(

esp those old ones. Also you can bookmark or mark where you left off while reading a book. I don't think it's that easy with a kindle. I love dogears.

I've taken a reading hiatus. I have (for the most part) not read a book in about three weeks.
It's terrible. And it's never happened before.

WAAAAAAAH

I've only read 17 this summer. D:
