Well, i think there's a serious danger when it comes to print media. The way i feel is that unless people actually put some kind of effort into preserving print media, it may disappear. It's been...

In my opinion, i think that paper books will always exist. They don't run out of batteries. They are not stored in some sort of destructible hard drive. They smell better.

I just can't wrap my head around the e-readers. I have to have the physical book. I have to be able to open it up, smell it, thumb through the chapters and all that jazz. I can't do that with an...

^^ Hell yeah Suge! I don't own a kindle or a nook. Ive looked at them, and they are pretty cool. But, I love holding a book and flipping the pages. I think it will die one day and that will suck. The...

I don't think it's dying, but ebooks are getting bigger and bigger. Check out Anarchy Books, they have a real punk ethos which fits in well with NIN and other bands like Sex Pistols and The Clash....

I believe the whole "digitization" trend is just that...a trend. Print will always be there for the few who prefer it, just like vinyls.
