My point was Kindles vanishing, not books vanishing. Kindles are in no way a prerequisite for reading books.
Thanks for clarifying, I see what you mean now.
I have found ebooks useful. Especially when I was traveling by air more. But certainly not essential for reading.
You may want to make your original post more clear, because i agree that at a quick glance it says you wouldn't miss books.
I didn't believe you meant that of course, but we've already seen it can happen.
I'd take smartphones vanishing rather than books any day.
