I'm not sure about the original question, but I'm assuming by 'print books' they mean -new- print books? And did they ask about Hardback or Mass Market Paperback?
And are they sure their book market, for the new books anyway, isn't also going other places beside ebooks, but places like the on-line book swaps?
There's some that do a lot of traffic, and have Wish List lines of new releases that get read and passed around fairly quickly in some cases. IIRC, there were over a thousand in line for the last new Harry Potter book a few years ago, and within a few months the lines had dropped down to double digits.
When you can find pretty much anything in the second hand market, for media mail rates, those new books can do some serious traveling in a couple of months.
Or do they not think about those?
