Cinema and theatre invoke expectation, even if it is simply an expectation to be entertained, whereas novels require work from the reader.

The eventual demise of the novel is inevitable in a world where hours, minutes, even seconds are crucial for profitability and success. Not enough time or inclination to do non-profitable work.
