Not OP, but it's both not as capable as LCD, and a lot of people who like reading seem to be part of the physical book sniffer religion. You know, the "I NEED A REAL BOOK." people. Given they're the main demographic aimed at by e-book readers, and a lot of them seem to hate even just the idea of reading on any screen, I can see why people would think the technology would quickly go away.
- rchaud 4y agoIsn't that like saying that iTunes MP3 purchasers are part of the 'vinyl obssessive' crowd? Someone who purchases a $14.99 book on a Kindle is doing so because they aren't going to spend $27.99 on the hardcover.
- maximus-decimus 4y agoI wouldn't count vinyl as a real alternative to mp3's. mp3's are more a replacement for portable stuff : cd's and cassettes. And I never heard anybody but the most hipsters defend those. It's more like comparing vinyl to first gen non-portable cd players. I wasn't there at the time, but I imagine it was probably not obvious then either that cd players were there to stay.
