@yalanand Yes the whole atmosphere in a library makes you feel relaxed. I guess the smell and touch of paper is what you will miss the most with electronic readers.

Is IU man involved in insider trading, by any chance? Sounds like bad press to me.

Why can't we create a Super hero who can always time the market, who always makes profits in his trade, basically a character who is perfect investor. If we want to name such character what would it be ? IUMan ?

I still enjoy going to the library and picking up books to read when time permits even though I could just read them on my iPad.
@Phoenix, the ambiance of the library gives us an opportunity to get submerged in the world of books. One more major difference between reading an e-book and paper book is smell of paper.

Marvel has done a great job building up movie franchises based around its comics, DC has had some success but no where near as much as Marvel. Some independent graphic novels have also done well, like Sin City, Spawn, Blade, Heavy Metal, Watchmen, and so many more.

I guess that's another way of enjoying the library. A merging of the old and the new. I think comic book companies are also successfully venturing into the movie business through animated movies. Although superman and the others were made into movies with live actors I think I like animated ones like Tintin where the characters looks more like the ones from the books.

Interesting that someone brought up collecting. In the 2009 ICv2 white paper one of the reasons attributed to the decline in Manga sales was a lack of "collector's mentality" among manga readers.

@Impactnow - I'm having trouble finding comprehensive demographic breakdowns for comic book readers, so all I really know is that 50% of the reading population is single men. And while I'm sure all the money they're not spending on their girlfriends is probably being spent on comics, I'm still inclined to believe that the digital market will continue to grow while the print market shrinks.

Phoenix,
I am a fan of the library as well, but you can even borrow books from the library with your tablet. But I also love just being at the library, there are times when I go there just to sit and read on my tablet.
