naath1. Are books losing importance as a source of information and entertainment?
I mean, we have Netflix and I still read? so maybe a bit, but not totally.
2. Are e-books the death of paper books? Will paper books disappear?
I hope not, although I do like ebooks for the convenience
3. Should libraries focus on improving their technological resources rather than building a larger collection of paper books?
Both, ideally.
4. How important are early reading skills in a child’s academic performance?
IANA educationalist but ... maybe. I read young, but not very young. I'm sure many famous smart people read at 2 or contrarywise as an adult. So... maybe it matters less than one might assume, and in any case I'd tend to assume it si a symptom of smartness, not a *cause* thereof.
5. Are people who spend a lot of time reading fiction wasting their time which could be better spent doing more useful activities?
No.
