By “dead,” he of course doesn’t mean completely dead. But he means that digital books are going to replace physical books as the dominant form.

“People will say ‘no, no, no’ — of course you like your libraries,” Negroponte said. But he cited the report that sales of books for the Kindle recently surpassed sales of hardcover books.
“It’s happening. It not happening in 10 years. It’s happening in 5 years,” he said.
