but to be more specific, magazines will go way before books will. magazines are temporary news-based, short-form exposition. that translates digitally way better than a 200,000 word novel. personally I like having books in my field because I like highlighting, but I like digital because of the search ability. of course one could highlight on the computer as well, but i'm not there yet. i think there's still a generation left before books stop being physically published regularly. at least non-fiction books. fiction i have no clue.
