The Death of Books

Reading, reading is one of the most joyous things  on this planet.  It allows you to escape into a world of fantasy and wonder.  But alas, in this modern era many people, especially younger persons, tend not to read books.  Instead they read facebook statuses, and curtailed news articles.  Is reading a book still important in this modern era, or is the age of books dying? I myself find it impossible to let go of books, there is nothing like feeling the coarse pages of a well written book, while you are snuggled into a chair on a cold winters night.  Of course few of us do that on a regular basis, but the point is the same, books give a very different experience than the computer does.  Books need no power source and can be read near anywhere. So I ask you my non-existent audience, are books still important to you?
