(Continuation from yesterday)

Next, the reasoning about (2) is also strange.

If your Amazon listing costs are high, they can publish electronically from your homepage.

A stranger theory is being developed for this claim.

The reason is that e-book readers (Kindle, Fire, etc.) are held by Amazon, so electronic publishing is not possible.

Against the reason, I argue that

"That's stupid. If distributed as PDF, they are readable by all smartphones, not just PCs"

In response to the theory that electronic files make it easy to distribute illegal copies, I can say,

-Unauthorized copying becomes considerably more difficult by associating it with the machine number of the display device (smartphone etc.)

-Unauthorized copying is much easier with analog. There are many cases.

To begin with, "if the price of e-books is lowered sufficiently, the motivation of providing / supplying illegal copies will be reduced because of risk".

If someone thinks that e-books will annihilate analog books in all fields, I think "something is wrong with them".

I think comics, short novels and stories, etc. are good areas for electronic books.

However, in my experience, e-books are not useful for technical books and technical books.

Fact check using multiple sources, writing in book, sticky notes, comparison of figures, tables and data graphs, and even if I can not imagine "location of the stored bookcase" or "place where the book was opened", I can't make full use of technical books and technical books.

Especially the information necessary for writing should be printed, even if it is Web information.

I think that this can be realized not only by professional designers and people who work in writing, but also by college students who write reports, and even children who conduct free research during the summer holidays.

Many people have lost their vested interests through personal computers. The same can be said for e-books.

However, as long as "digital" devices continue to be about the same as current smartphones and PCs, it is impossible for analog books to disappear.

-----

So, I think,

The opinion that "all analog books disappear with electronic books" is unreasonable.

How much is impossible?

"On a 1.5 tatami bed, with VR goggles alone, you can keep enjoying a virtual SEX with a virtual lover or a virtual conversation with a virtual ideal family in your life."

The above is an example.

(And while writing, I thought this metaphor itself was impossible.)
