print reading?

Recently, when I was shopping on the Amazon.com, there is always a reminder and a big ads on the front page said that "Kindle 2 has arrived!". According to the introduction from the Amazon.com, this Kindle 2 is the latest generation of new wireless reading device which can lets you download books right from your Kindle, anytime, anywhere and Get books delivered in less than 60 seconds. Ok, it still reads like real paper with 16 shades of gray for clear text and even crisper images. What a wonderful reading device! You got intreseted? I am! If it costs no so expensive, $359.
I have to say that the high technology may really chanllenge the traditional media. At the times when people still arguing whether the internet reading will cause the dysfuctional reading ability in print reading, the rapid speedy development of high technology gives people no time to think about so much. They just dig into our lives, provide us undeniable convenience and attract our attention away from the traditional medium.
I don't want to be such pessimistic, but maybe one day the print books can only stay in the deep space of old libarary.
