This documentary is a portrayal of the way books are being transformed by the digital world.  There are devices out there like the iPad, kindle, nook, etc. that make reading easier and more accessible.  With the click of a button you can have a book or document onto your tablet.  While I admit, I do own one myself that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy a good book in my hands either.  I don’t believe that this means the end for books.  I believe that books are necessary because you can’t compare it to a tablet or any technological device.  The idea of convenience and being able to carry several books at once in the palm of your hand is a break through, yes, but there are certain aspects about books that you just can’t get with technology.  Like the creators showed, you can’t get the smell of the book or the physicality of flipping the corners of a page or writing in it to make your own notes.  I can understand the creators worry for books and bookstores but I think there as just as many people out there who prefer e-readers over books as there are people who enjoy books over e-readers.  Perhaps, it may just be my hopefulness that books won’t go away anytime soon but only time will tell.
