Is the book disappearing?

Over the years, hard cover books are very slowly being taking over by E-books. Last year Hard cover books made a 10% rise in sales and e-books down down 0.2% (forbes.com) Also a survey last year showed that nearly 70% of people with books think hard cover books won't die out until after 2016. (infodocket.com) Josh Catone thinks printed books will never die out because of their physical beauty, provenance, collectable and others in this article (Mashable.com)

From all of this information, I think that the book will still be here for a while, and e-books have a few years before catching up and being more popular then printed, hard cover books.

Waitangi Day.

The maori are protesting because the maori culture is breaking. People are not honouring the treaty and not letting maori have their rights. The maoris are losing land and also they have no chiefs. They want to have their old culture back and get their land back and have chiefs ruling again. The maoris have made big protests on the street using blockades holding large banners.
