I believe they do,
although the appeal of the Internet and e-books is undeniable.
Actually, there’s a great initiative I’ve just read about in Britain (I
think we have something similar in Hungary as well) called Bookcrosing. The
basic idea is that you ’lose’ one of your books on purpose. Here’s how
it works: first you register with the site, tag one of your books with a
special number generated by the site, and then ’release it to the
wild’. With any luck, your book will be rescued (that is,
found, or as they say ’captured’) by someone. Next, the book-catcher is
invited, via use of the special number, to update the travels of the
book. This way all the previous owners can get in touch with the latest
’rescuer’ and they can exchange impressions of the book, then pass it on
or ’losing’ it – in true Book Crossing spirit.
