#ScribesAndMakers 9/4: "If ebooks stopped being produced, how much would you miss them?"
As I prefer reading print books, I would not miss e-books as such terribly. But some authors whose works I enjoy reading only make their stories available as e-books, and if they did not make the switch to print then, I would miss them. And it would be really unfortunate if old books (say, 19th century editions of medieval texts) that are currently easily available as PDF files weren't there any more.
