As a child I saw books all around the house. I remember seeing them in my dad’s office, in our living room, family room, and even by my parent’s nightstand.  With books going to digital formats more and more, my children will be less likely to see a book on my shelves as they grow older and will not ask, “What’s this book about” or “Hey dad would any of these be good for me to read.”  All of that is lost if all of my books are stored only in digital format.

As more books are delivered in digital formats will those piles of books disappear and reduce the desired reading of future generations?
