I don't think that we'll loose books, the target audiences might change but there is only so far you can go with a DVD.

Eventually the Ellusionist kids will pick up a book and realise what they've been missing all this time (how many people on here have done exactly that?)

I generally prefer books for the price, quantity and the fact that you can go through them at your own pace.

When I tried to learn from a DVD I found I was constantly rewinding back to see things again. It became quite tedious.

I think that new comers are pulled to these DVD's because of the hype and marketing on websites. They see a magician pull of all these amazing effects and make people believe after 5mins of watching their DVD they will be performing one handed cobra shuffles.
