THIS! A lot of people seem to forget that there is a lot of people who regularly read non-fiction books, and that ereaders/tablets/computers aren't the perfect medium for reading those books. So the only bookshelves I'd stop producing are the really shallow ones that can't handle larger format books.

As for the future of print books, I expect certain markets to diminish over the next decade. Other markets will continue to thrive.
