Like with the Kindle, critics worried people would no longer read aloud and sharing books would be unfashionable and the experience lost, more importantly to some, the printing press would put scribes out of jobs.
More in line with the critics of the Kindle, they stated the printed books were not as pretty as the original books and an art form would be lost. This was not untrue but the benefits far outweighed the pitfalls.
The availability brought about a whole new age of education, science, arts and religion, it has been called one of the greatest inventions of all time.
