According to a recent poll, it’s becoming more difficult for books to compete against high-tech developments such
as the Internet. 42 books more popular, publishers are trying everything from publishing more large-type books for

market. He says that people will continue to buy books because books can be much more profound than television and the
Internet. And there are times 44 reading electronically is simply impractical, for example when standing in a very
