2. The advantages of printing presses were that they could mass-produce books quickly and at a lower cost compared to handwritten manuscripts, making books more accessible to a wider audience.

3. Some people thought that books would disappear because they believed that digital technology and electronic media would replace physical books, making them obsolete.
