Alrite, 'books' sounded a bit alien not only because real books are offline but also because they cost money,
I come from the year 2078 to tell you that real books are a purpose and not a device. A book is a convenient unit of a large amount of text. Virtual books are not virtual, because their purpose is real, and so is their usefulness. And electronic books are not electronic, because fileformats never cared about electrons. And regardless of the money that they cost or that they don't, books can be quite priceless.
