That won't happen. Yeah, we're moving to digital books, but extremely slowly. Honestly, book publishers have probably got a good decade or two before eBooks become truly mainstream (or maybe never, as I said before, most people don't read, so the issue could be moot).

And they're not exactly struggling as it is. Even a ton of people not buying eBooks wouldn't particularly influence their bottom, especially enough to put them out of business.

What we should do is if we see an eBook that is priced higher then the pBook edition then email the shop and tell them of the discrepancy. Sometimes it does work. I've done it before and gotten the prices reduced.
