Re: An audiobook as the definitive form

Decades ago my university made its own texts, but it never replaced
also stocking and requiring the use of mainstreamed published books by
international experts.

I went into Borders just before Xmas and it was wall to wall people,
buying books.  I really don't think their will be any sudden change
because a lot of people do read, and 99% of them read paperback books.
 As do I, most of the time.  Even with e-ink I would rather poke my
eyes with sharpened pencils than read a textbook length ebook.

But then I have a collection of near future prophecy books (written in
the 20s-70s, predicting the 70s-current day).  The one thing they have
in common is predicting great change, which hasn't occured.  Meanwhile
none of them predicted the internet or the cell phone.  So who knows.
