Only the reduced buying of NEW paper books affects the supply of Used paper books. I imagine that is already happening and will only accelerate.

However, along with the decline in the source of used paper books will be a decline in the DEMAND for used paper books. There is a huge catalog of free out of copyright books, and new books being offered by non-established authors that are free or very low cost. And there is piracy. I imagine these forces will more than compensate for the decline in the creation of used paper books.
