For a small group of readers, Digital Reading is a nice, cheap and simple way to get your literature. But it's not the future of reading. If you're waiting for this, you'll post the same on MobileRead in 20 years. It won't happen. Printed books will always be the majority, at least for the next years.

Some people think that paper books are going to disappear, and do so fairly soon. I don't agree with that, I don't see paper books disappearing within the foreseeable future. However, it seems exceedingly unlikely that paper books will remain the majority within 20 years.
