Physical print media in all forms is declining, for sure, even for myself, my consumption in print media is reduced, compared with few years back. But I will continue to buy occasionally, like for the book or magazine I really want to read then I buy.
Travel guide alike books due to online information are coming much faster and allow to be accessed via mobile phone, so it declines industry. I buy physical books mainly to access historical and culture writing, and flip those travel photography inside to get inspiration.
I am starting to develop the habit of reading from tablet devices, and I found that slowly those purely text based content books, I will not really find I must access physical books. Instead, for those magazines or magazine + books (mook), I like those printed mooks, as they make the story and theme well organized and pleasure to flip them and read the content I like.

I have thought about creating and keeping a dedicated book journal, as it is easy to develop and create the content, section and tab based on the way I want to keep the book journal subject. But after thinking in a more holistic way, it may not be a good idea, a movie and tv shows, maybe come from the book, but it can also involve music, not to mention art and design, history and culture. So if I want to really cover one book in depth, I may need to cover other matters, and other that scenario and context, just defining the website for the book becomes too narrow. Instead, put it under leisure, it makes it clear this passion activity or hobby is doing during leisure time. And I can have a more flexible way to make the theme or content to cover my way.
