Demise of the printed book

[Darlene A Yasick <lib027yas@JUNO.COM>]

I keep reading articles that say that the printed book is fast becoming
obeslete to be replaced by ebooks or some other new technology. I notice
however that whenever I am confronted by something on the computer screen
that is long or complicated (or important to me) I wind up printing it so
that I can sit down somewhere comfortable  and read it.  Is this just
because I am "old" and used to the printed page? I asked my tech person
who is quite young and he said the same thing - I like to print it out,
sit in a comfortable chair with a cup of coffee and read it  for
understanding.

PS Speaking of understanding and first day school humor-- Sara came home
from her first day at preschool and told her parents that she want to go
out to eat pizza at the place that her friends at school were going
to--"Chunkie Jesus' " I think you have to say it out loud.
