dead print society

I read in a friend's blog that Google recently came up with Book Search, which allows you to download the pdf file of a dead author's book....

I weep, for is this the signal of print's death? Let it not be...

Hehehehe. Of course! If it were not for blogs, I would've gone insane here at work just sitting in front of the computer responding to emails. hahaha!

hindi mamamatay ang print Shine, proven na iyan. (-;

mas gusto pa rin ng tao yung nahahawakan niya ang binabasa niya.

hehehe. dapat lang. iba pa rin kase ang feeling (and amoy) ng crisp pages. =)

Me too. Id rather see the book and read it leafing through the pages than just scroll on my mouse. Nakakatamad nakaharap sa computer lagi. Yung book kahit saan puwede pang dalhin. Puwede mo ba madala ang laptop sa loob ng CR? HIN-DE~ hahaha

hahah! great point! well, actually, baka yun mga tablet notebooks pwede na. hahaha!

pero seriously, who in his right mind would read a (at least)150-page book in pdf? baka maduling na cya nun sa kakabasa sa comp.
