I'm pretty sure that won't happen. Trees don't grow to the sky, and there are still too many barriers to e-book adoption, most notably that you have to buy an expensive device, there is no standard e-book format, and e-books suffer many disadvantages as compared to paper books. Even today, CDs outsell mp3s by a 2-1 margin.
