PTI, NEW DELHI: The numbers of people listening to audio books, or those switching on a Kindle might be on the rise, but a strong tribe of readers who still like to hold a book, and sift through pages, continues to flourish.
As many readers and publishers wonder about the future of books with the advent of e-books, publishers at the New Delhi World Book Fair are not just confident but are also encouraged by the number of book lovers thronging the Pragati Maidan grounds here.
According to them, e-books and books cater to different markets and despite the growing number of e-book readers the older medium is still growing strong.
“When e-books came into the market publishers were worried about the future of books and about finding buyers. But with time we realised it’s just another medium and it has also helped us,” Arun Maheshwari of Vani Prakashan told PTI.
