Reading Gets Wired (technoculture)

A Norwegian sketch-comedy show called "Middle Ages Tech Support," is about a medieval monk who complains about something called a "book", the monk is upset, he states, "it takes longer to turn the pages" compared to the scrolls.
The Sony Reader can hold about 80 average length novels to be read on an electronic screen. The technology world believes it is the fate of all media to shed their analog past and transubstantiate into pure data. Newspapers are becoming websites, photos are becomingJPEG's and songs are becoming MP3s.
But what does this digital awakening mean for the book?
My perspective on this is, I believe books will be around for awhile.
