However, I don't see books ever going away: what are you going to read when (1) the electricity goes out,

Make sure your power banks are loaded (if outages are too often or too long people usually start to invest in generators, like currently in South Africa).

I don't care about that. While in the EU I prefer mobile data over crappy wifi anyway, and my book collection is stored offline. 256GB microsd cards are cheap today.

Quote:(3) you are tired at look at your phone or computer screen?

Close my eyes and go to sleep.

That can still be very heavy. I wished that during my college years current tablet technology existed, and I didn't have to carry 1000+ page paperbacks the whole day. Have you ever felt the paperback version of Advanced engineering mathematics from Kreyzig?
