Border Closing

As a person who preferred books as compared to pdfs or online tutorials, I really saddened by the Border Closing Event.
At the height of dot com craze, people used to speculate that there will no brick and mortar malls but only online malls.
That didn’t come true but Internet did kill technical magazines and now borders store.
May be it was for good.
May be it is for good for earth. Earth may be greener without border. No need to cut more trees for books.
IPads make PDF more fun to read. I am not buying books because I don’t have any shelf space left for new paper books. PDFs are cheaper than books. They will be cheaper for customers to buy and bring more royalty for authors.
What is next, public libraries with eReaders and no books.
