Yes, the e-readers are going to make printed books obsolete. How can you go wrong with multimedia and being able to carry your whole library with you?

No, technology can't get rid of the book—there is nothing like the experience of the book.

I don't know.

Amazon.com, one of the nation’s largest booksellers, announced Monday that for the last three months, sales of books for its e-reader, the Kindle, outnumbered sales of hardcover books.

In that time, Amazon said, it sold 143 Kindle books for every 100 hardcover books, including hardcovers for which there is no Kindle edition.
