I do see the change as a generational thing. I agree that pBooks will never go away, but I think that as the younger generation grows up using eBooks for the majority of their reading, we will see more of a changeover. I also suspect that for that generation having homes full of books will become less common.
I venture a guess that in 10 years pbooks will be a small niche market. They won't die out, but they will not be a mass product anymore.
