Personally, I could see ebooks becoming far more common and paper books becoming less common. I love reading ebooks myself. However, there are a couple of small issue to overcome and one HUGE issue to overcome.
First, DRM in any form must be made illegal. Any ebook that is available for sale to the general public must not have any form of DRM, ever, for any reason.
Second, a standard format must be selected.
Third, the current pricing scheme is way off. The price of any ebook should be approx half the cost of the cheapest paperback version.
