On the other hand, these poor people who probably use second hand or borrowed books, can’t pay for a tablet. How they can take advantage of these “lowers prices” of tablets, if they can’t buy a brand new book? They will not take any advantage of this. For all these reasons tablets will not going to work, in my opinion. Books will never be totally replaced by computers because books are essentials in our lives. That’s why they have been around the planet so long. Books entertain people with culture, fiction, drama, comedy and whatever story we can find. It is one of the most common and known way to communicate in the world. That’s why, books will never been forgotten or replaced by any kind of machine; they have some kind of magic that capture the person to keep reading and reading. Writers will never stop writing and publish books because they know the essence and the magic that books
