when you think about it, it’s kinda weird that books still exist in the same form they’ve been in for the past several centuries, while almost every other form of media has undergone major changes

Yes True But educated and thoughtful people still know that books cannot be replaced by anything How much do you read every day Drew?

to be fair, there is a innovation ceiling when it comes to books. Similar concept with wheels - why reinvent the wheel? But agreed its totally weird in that context

We have e-readers and audiobooks, which I concede are basically consumer upgrades and not major changes but still innovations. There’s a general consensus that holding a physical stack of paper bound by a cover is better though. Something about it… can’t quite explain.

One way to look at it: books are DRM free and have an infinite battery life.

That is pretty fascinating, right? Music went from vinyl to streaming, movies evolved from film reels to digital platforms, but books have largely stayed the same physical paper and ink. Even though we have e-books now, many still prefer the feel of a physical book. Do you think there’s something about the traditional book experience that’s just timeless, or are we overdue for a major shift?

The book medium was perfected with the paperback, there is no way to improve it at present. That said, ebooks and audiobooks are books in a new form and are hugely popular.

People still listen to records while we have streaming services and digital formats! Sometimes ebooks or audiobooks don't hit the same
