Does Japan still consume physical media over digital? I know they buy CDs still, but what about books and movies?

Interesting
So they buy physical books and don't use a kindle or tablet to read?
Isaiah Hall
They invented ereader long before Kindle stupid mutt faggot.

People don't buy CDs as much as they used to anymore, most people use a subscription service. The only ones still selling are the ones that have an idol's handshake as a bonus
A lot of people still buy the book, not sure about the movie.
Daniel Mitchell
That doesn't mean it's common. The US has the highest e-reader usage.

Japan invented shit like used pants vending machine and other weird cyberpunk stuff.

Interesting, I heard subscription wasn't common in Japan but maybe that's changing.
Luke Jackson
That's great but how common is it?
Carson Johnson
Does anybody use ereaders anymore? I haven't seen one since like 2013, thought it went the way of the 3D TV

Not sure. If not, do they use tablets now or have people returned to physical books?

Physical music sales are slowly dropping, still very high though at 75% compared to the US's 10%.

You guys are really smart.

For those unable to see, the reason many are lauding our Japanese friends for choosing physical books is because A) they are harder to control, B) they are harder to track (no eye movement tracking to see if you actually read it, or pulse monitor to see if you believe it) and C) superior aesthetics

While this thread is here: physical books or e-reader? As in, which is better/do you prefer
James Adams
Probably, it's comfy.
No DRM in each file, no companies installing their spyware and tracking shit to each device in your pocket, your data is YOUR data and nobody can delete them remotely (like Amazon did with 1984 book)
David Gomez
Whoa, Amazon deleted book from Flibusta?
Lincoln Sanders
No, from Kindle.
Apple did the same with their software (there were some bugs with indexing audio files, which resulted in "non-authorized" music deleted)
