There are many new ways today to read books, or even find new books. Looking online, one can see that many of the books that are popular either have recently been made into movies, or have some sort of popular, well-known author.
These are the kind of things that keep people buying books from Barnes & Noble or Border’s. But now there are things like the Kindle, which you can download and read books on, and you can also purchase e-books or books on iTunes to listen to.
However, this is still not for everyone. There are still people today who buy books and like to keep them, and possibly re-read them, or people that enjoy going to the library to find books. Often, books have to be tangible for people. While reading e-books can be really convenient, especially if someone finishes a book and wants to read something similar, or something by the same author, they can easily access a new novel online.
Overall, things like e-books can be helpful to some people, but older generations would most likely still enjoy buying and reading books from a store. E-books will probably continue to become more popular, but printed books will most likely still be popular as well.
