Earlier this month, I read an article about the future of print media vs. ebooks, and how ebooks would save so-called "power book-buyers" (as called by the publishing industry, apparently) money, but only after 20 years or so of only buying ebooks.
What exactly is a power book-buyer then, you ask?
Why, it's the age group from 20-29, who buy an average of 4.7 BOOKS PER YEAR.
Yeeeeeah. If I buy 4-5 books A MONTH, it's a cold day/month in hell, and I haven't been able to use the computer OR leave the house. Wtf, people my age, wtf.
