forgive any duplication.

I am currently working on a research project and would like to get some
input from you folks. There is a lot of talk about the possibility that
computers will eventually replace books. My questions to you are:

---Do you think the availability of books in electronic form (i.e. CD-ROM,
the Internet) will cause books as we know them today to become obsolete?

---Why or why not?

Thanks so much for your help.
