I expect to see the paper book relegated to being just special editions for collectors within the next 40 years. (Which, with a bit of luck, is in my lifetime.) |
Where? I think that's possible for a developed first world economy like the US or most of Europe. Beyond that, it gets harder.
Ebook penetration like that requires that all readers have devices to display them, the means of getting them, and the supporting infrastructure that will make it possible. There are lots of places where that isn't true and won't be any time soon.
