Hum Log: At the 44th World Book Fair held in Pragati Maidan, we ask book publishers as well as enthusiasts about whether the generally held belief that paper books are slowly losing their charm in the world of digital technology is true. Baldeo Sharma, chairman of the National Book Trust says that a lot of people especially in rural areas still read a lot of books and that a large number of people visiting the book fair are book enthusiasts. Renu Agal and Aditi Maheshwari from the publishing industry say that the digital medium is getting preference over paper books and also that people are losing interest in physically visiting bookstores to buy books.
