End of The Book?

In this video, Peter Grawshaw makes a compaaraison betwen electronic books and real books. He shows the similarities and differences betwen those two types of media. Even if this new technology of digital books is very efficient and practical, the traditional version of the book remains irreplacable. Moreover, e-books present some disadvantages. For instance, they can be damaged and never be used again as opposite to books which are resistant and can be preserved for long time.
