That is 1000% true.
Print only buyers are missing out on the whole indie revolution and (at best) getting the short-end of the stick on ebook-first projects. To saynothing of missing out on ebook-only efforts.
We need to go no further than this example (out of many):

The other area print-only buyers miss out is the resurrected backlists coming to ebook only.
As time goes on the print fetishists will be under increasing pressure to move on to digital out of sheer economic necessity.
