Are books obsolete, things from a bygone era? Since data can be stored and transmitted electronically it would seem that books/magazines/newspapers made from cellulose are as relevant to society as are buggy whips and kerosene lamps.

Some may argue that a roll of duct tape is something other than a book. However, to me it's a new form of scroll, the standard for book manufacturing before the codex style for writing was created circa the reign of Julius Caesar.
