..... and by then ebook readers will be cheap as dirt. Devices that can display ebooks are ubiquitous already. It's a brave new media world out there, and paper books - particularly novels - are outdated. Children born today will no more be reading paper books when they turn sixteen than they will be learning to drive a car with a standard transmission.
