My PoD books look much cooler on my book shelf that my Kindle does.

Personally I know many people who read lots of books but will not buy an e-reader unless declining eyesight forces them to. The younger generation may grow up thinking print is quaint, but older generations will continue reading print books for decades yet.

And given the base cost of a Createspace book is three or four hours of your time for formatting and uploading, there's really no reason not to do a PoD.
