I think that's a little harsh a judgement. There is something to touching paper books and smelling them and enjoying the cover that is lost in the new technology, centuries of existence of a medium that has been around since before middle ages.
To completely end up paper books would be like, bringing down old works of art, paintings, statues, monuments etc because it all is "better" on digital pictures or online or whatever.
Someone said once that those who don't know (or forget) their past, don't have a future
