The books in recent years

How many times in the last hundred years or so have people talked of the imminent death of the book? Films were an early threat, because they were so effective at telling stories in a visual way. Nowadays, the threat of television, cinema and new technologies make threatening to paper books. Many books, on the one hand, have film adaptations, which for many people is poor and on the other hand, the film adaptations have been more famous and award-winning than the book itself. In addition, many people prefer to wait to see the movie instead of reading the book. This can cause that many people to stop reading and that the literary industry is weak. We will never go without books.
