I wonder if and when the day will ever come when we are truly a paperless 
socieity, with all comics and books on digital readers like Kendle? If that day 
ever comes, will people even value first-run digital comics and the like? A 
hundred years from now, will someone be paying a million bucks for the digital 
version of a comic created now? Typically value is based on scarcity for such 
things, and if they can be copied indefinitely, what does that do to concepts 
of value? 

Personally, I think/hope that books will never really go away. For one thing, i 
doubt any time soon that the whole of the Earth will get to the point to make 
digital readers practical. most of the Earth is still frankly living in what 
we'd call poverty, and many people even in the future would find the need to 
keep battery-powered devices all the time cumbersome. i love my ipods and 
stuff, but you can't beat a good old fashioned book when you're camping or 
hiking or something, and don't want to worry about power supplies.
