It is clear that day by day people are more habituated to reading e-books . Yet books are being published and being read . Do you think ebooks will totally replace the paper books?

I don't believe e-books will ever replce paper books. You can't take them to the beach. nor can you read them in bad. It would cost too much to print them out youself so you could take them with you.

really reading a book in the beach would be a unique experience. You are right .

Although so many people theorized that the digital computer age would make the use of paper media extinct, it has actually done exactly the opposite. The wide usage and availability of computers, especially those equipped with printing capability, has exponentially increased the output of printed paper media, hence the false concept of the so-called "paperless society" has been deemed largely eroneous. Considering this fact alone, I would be quite skeptical about the e-books replacing tradtional print formats anytime in the near future.
