I love e-books and e-readers. They have some advantages over p-books. However, there will always be some real books on my shelves. No matter how improved e-readers will get, there will always be a difference in the physical reading experience between e and p. Maybe future generations will feel differently and won't want p-books.
I'm reminded of the several scenes from both Star Trek TNT and Voyager where the captain is seen reading a p-book. It is always portrayed as a quaint, somewhat eccentric habit, in an age of super technology.
