I have always believed that printed books will never go away, the same way that movie theaters didn't stop existing because we now have DVD players. Printed books and e-books present a different experience with their own advantages and disadvantages. E-books are good for quick access to lots of information and have a novelty factor. But traditional books are still easier to read, can be stored for a long time, and work better as gifts, among other advantages.
- pmx 11y agoI think the main, possibly only reason that movie theaters exist is because they get the movie before DVD/Blu Ray/Steams and keep them for a long time. If we could choose to buy them however we wanted to right away I think less people would brave the cinema and risk having the movie ruined by idiots while they get gouged on food.
- adrianN 11y agoI, for one, don't want to spend thousands on a home theater system that can deliver an equivalent experience to a movie theater, so I will always go to the theater for movies that I think are worth the ten bucks. If you go to a smaller theater, the chances that the movie is ruined by idiots is small.
