    He leído libros en línea. Si necesito un libro específico para una clase particular en que estoy, me basta con ir a la biblioteca de mi escuela

I get easily distracted by other things or I get tired of looking at the screen, plus I agree with the people that said that they just like to physically hold something and relax. Maybe one day books won't be as common, but they aren't dying anytime soon
    I say it depends, is a book a physical item that has words inside, or is a book the story that it tells? If it's just the story then I'd say they've already started to die out because of things like iBooks and whatnot, where you can read your books without the book. That is also beneficial to the company because all they have to do is ask for distribution from Apple, instead of all these other companies, and then have to spend extra money to get covers and whatnot.

    And I see where you're getting at, but I don't see this as coming to the point where books will die off due to iBooks. Maybe it's just the area I live in, but I honestly know no one that uses iBooks. They all still read normal books, like I do, so I don't know. I'm not saying that it won't happen, that I just don't see it coming anytime soon

    This

    It's so nice sitting very still,
    In a room where no one else can feel
    The pain that breaks my heart each day
    I'm not okay.

    Some books won't die quickly. "Educational" books will remain popular, and anyway, there are still people who read still in the current generation.

    Books will always exist. Whether digital or not, as long as we read and write there will always be books.
