So my guess is people buy a lot more electronically, once they get used to the idea.

I estimate that my reading has increased six-fold since getting my jetBook Lite. However, I have been reading free books.
Amazon has lost out on a few sales to me because I have been so busy reading what I have downloaded for free that I haven't been tempted to buy a hardcopy from them. That won't last forever, but it will for the foreseeable future.
