"And for one more thing, it doesn't bother me in the least bit."
"Of course, like my fiance says, books will remain only as a thing of the past like Vinyl records. People don't really listen to vinyl anymore, but hit songs/special releases are still being released on vinyl as limited purchases. They'll become vintage and collectible - something that only hipsters/elitists will want."
I can't read ebooks that long, it starts to bother my eyes. Real books are incredibly more pleasant to look at. And so much more fun to hold.
I have a record player and don't consider myself hipster or elitist. I'm not sure why you think that, but I can assure you that the sound quality from an album is higher than anything you'll hear through your computer. Plus there are some really great records that you just won't find in other formats, and if you do they won't be the same.
