Hear my prophecy!!
In the future, owning physical books will be a status symbol for wealth and education. The wealthy will have expansive collections of leather bound books in mahogany bookshelves as the price for physical books will skyrocket due to the availability of ebooks and their very low price point of tablets, e-readers, and holographic books. Physical books will only be printed and purchased in specialty shops by the super wealthy and set up in their houses as trophies.. (victorian style houses btw as the rich will grow to eschew all forms of modern living and regress back to old customs because they can afford to, while the working classes won't be able to make a living without relying on the technology of the time)
If this comes to pass I shall be exalted as a mystic!!
..but most likely it won't so I should just write a spec sci-fi story instead.
