Shueisha Announces 'Digital-First' Strategy—The End of Physical Books?

Shueisha announced today that it will gradually shift towards a digital-first strategy:<br><br>1. New series will be prioritized for publication on the JUMP+ digital platform.<br>2. The physical "Weekly Shonen Jump" will have its page count reduced.<br>3. A new digital subscription service will be launched.<br>4. Some titles will be released exclusively in digital format.<br><br>This is truly bad news for fans of physical books. Although digitalization is a major trend, the feeling of holding a physical copy of JUMP is something the digital version can never replace. What do you all think?
