I think that printers should be afraid. And maybe B&M bookstores.

The actual publishers will just sell books whether they are electronic or paper, yes you are right, it's the printers that will feel the pinch. Many years ago we virtually lost our printing industry in Australia - I still know printers who had to retire early or retrain into other careers. But I guess these changes are part of progress and will just happen. And a few more trees left standing won't do the world any harm!
