A new topic that I would like to examine is the debate between printed books and e-books or even some audiobooks. Personally, I hate anything that isn't actually a book or in print but I would be interested to see what others have to say.
Here are a couple questions I came up with:
1) Is there an environmental advantage to purchasing e-books instead of printed books? I think it would be interesting to see the data on how many books are printed per year and how many trees that costs us. Also, how many trees do we save by purchasing e-books?
2) Environmental issues aside, which do people actually prefer? I know some people like to read on their tablet instead of carrying around a book. Why is that?
3) How has the book industry catered to the needs of the modern consumer? With the introduction of the kindle and Amazon audibles there are a multitude of companies that are trying to steer away from the printed book.
