Paper books are not going to go away anytime soon. We (ebook readers) are a very small part of a market and when I go to *my* local independent bookstore, I see row upon row of non-fiction books that aren't available as ebooks. Hundreds and hundreds of cookbooks. Hundreds and hundreds of travel books. Hundreds and hundreds of art books. And many hundreds of books that just don't fit into any of the current genres that make up the popular ebooks.

Do I think the fiction market is going to change. You bet. But to paraphrase Mark Twain "The reports of the death of paper books have been greatly exaggerated".
