I think the issue is not so much that paper books are going away (not yet?), 
but that the brick & mortar distribution channel is in danger of going away. 
We will be reduced to buying through e-tailers if that happens. One thing I 
know, speaking for myself - I will wind up buying fewer books. The 
percentage of book purchases I make that are attributable to picking up a 
display copy in the local Borders store is very high. YMMV, however.
