Non sense! The thing about ebooks is all about to purchase and read the books you want from anywhere, anytime. If you go into a physical store -- perhaps for nostalgy of paper smell, just like vinyl-lovers are fond of the "warm" sound of the diamond needle scratching the surface -- it might still be more practical to browse the e-store to find what you want.

It seems like the the paper book industry might get slaughtered, but there will always be people who like collecting favourites in physical form. Like I'd get the latest CDs for my favourite bands even if I already have a digital copy of the music.

People used to talk the same about LPs against CDs: album cover got smaller. Now it is just an icon.
I personally don't care: I'm in for listening to music, not watching covers or videoclips.
