If I play you music, if would be difficult to tell if the source is a CD or if it is from an unscratched vinyl record. Some fans of vinyl claim to be able to tell the difference, but even if that is true, most people can't. With e-books vs. paper books, the difference is obvious. E-books are likely to keep the lions share of the book market, but paper books aren't likely to be reduced to the market share of vinyl. We'll be seeing paper books next to the supermarket checkout for some time to come.
