Poll Shows That 75% Prefer Printed Books To eBooks 312
Attila Dimedici writes "In a new Rasmussen poll, 75% of American adults would rather read a book in traditional print format than in an ebook format. Only 15% prefer the ebook format (the other 10% are undecided). The latter is a drop from the 23% that preferred the ebook format in Rasmussen's 2011 poll. In addition, more say they buy their books from a brick and mortar store than say they buy books online (35% from brick and mortar, 27% online). I suspect that the 27% who buy online buy more books, but these results are interesting and suggest that the brick and mortar bookstore is not necessarily doomed."

The Roman Empire still here, but the seat of power moved around a bit since the 400s. It's currently in Washington, D.C.

If you're wondering about the Roman History part, the empire collapsed.
Good. Listen, the only people we hate more than the Romans, are the f*cking Judean People's Front!

I have books on my book shelves that are over 50 years old, and I can still read them fine. Can the same be said about eBooks 50 years from now?
I doubt it. Your eyesight will probably be considerably worse by then.

I agree. The Dune Encyclopedia is an incredible book.
Atomics were first used to resolve a feud between House Nippon and House Washington.

Great reference material. I shall have to find my local copy later. My preserved copy is in my no-room, of course.
