the demise of books

Am having a serious re- think about the self- publishing idea. There is a debate, based around the UK figures for consumption that maybe we have reached 'peak stuff'! Well we might have as a nation but I certainly have as an individual. Having spent the morning clearing one bookshelf so that the painter could get at the wall I have made a decision. They are not going back! Well certainly not all of them. Some have already been re- homed and others will follow tomorrow. I love books and reading so if I feel like this I do fear for the future of published books. Will now look more carefully into e-books. Are you a kindle fan?
