I don't think they will as high as they are now but they will still be beneficial. I don't think they will as high because as you stated, today and tomorrows technology. They will be beneficial because a book doesn't require electricity to be used. In the failure of a power grid, you can still rely on good old fashioned paperback.

I think that in the future books will become a lot more popular but it wont be paperbacks it will be digital books for devices such as the Kindle or the Sony Reader.

Bonus Answer: My favourite series are Harry Potter (J.K Rowling) and the Twilight Saga (Stephanie Meyer) why? I watched the films and then decided to read the books.

0	I think paperback books are going to die within the next 35 years but digital e-books will become the future. Sales of paperback books are already plummeting due to e-readers so in 35 years they'll probably be dead. answered Jan 09 '11 at 15:54 TomMaxwell 1.6k●94●104●122
