since you can not use these high tech items on shabbos. Seforim and books will never be obsolete
Although as a side note they do save a lot of space not having to have lots of book cases in your house
and still have all the seforim in your device
never
How could they possibly become obselete? Do you think people will stop learning on Shabbos??

I find it odd too, but then I recall that once upon a time bound books were also very odd new fangled things too. Those folks who liked their stone tablets and parchment or papyrus scrolls must have thought books were problematic. And, of course, there was great opposition to the printing press.

I am wondering. What is the status of shaimos with computers and all the other devices having Torah on them?
