Maybe, maybe not. Or rather, I suspect that ebooks and the current economic model that drives paper books sales are not compatible. I think paper books will still be around in 10-15 years, but I think there might be very few brick and mortar book stores to buy them in. Perhaps Barnes and Noble will all becomes Starbucks with Print on Demand book machines. Buy a book while you wait for your Latte .
