We've had archival editions, not real ebooks.
I'm not disagreeing that print will endure for some applications but I do think that over the next few decades display tech will evolve to provide compelling value-adds that will allow other book types to move to digital. We are not there but I think it is a reach to assume we will never get there.
As Bill Gates said; People tend to overestimate the impact of new technologies in the short term and drastically underestimate it over the long term.
