<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1811782, member: 112&quot;]Yes that is true if you are talking about a book with a printing with thousands or even hundreds of thousands of copies. And or with books thay have been printed recently. But with most numismatic books there are 500 or less copies every printed. I have some where there were only 150 copies ever printed. And most numismatic books were not printed recently.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there is the issue of how many end users do you have, or can you have ? Numismatic books are highly specialized which results in few end users. And the number of people who even use electronic readers is still minuscule compared to the number of people who prefer paper books. So even if the book were digitized there would be very few who would ever buy it. So the cost of digitizing a numismatic book is not offset.</p><p><br /></p><p>At some time in the future this will change. It is already starting, but we are not there yet. We still have a long way to go. So paper numismatic books remain the only viable alternative.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
