If you really mean that somewhere in Wisconsin, there will be no more broadcast television after next September, please PM or VM me a link or more info because I want to know more.
Back on topic -
Yes, as a sufficient number of people move to ebooks and stay there, that will dictate the speed of the industry transition. But I think it's sometimes too easy for those of us who have already "crossed over" to assume a certain trajectory.
And though I'm one of those who has crossed over to ebooks almost exclusively, I'm not yet feeling the same inevitability that some are feeling. In fact, I expect there will be a lot of people like xg4bx who go with ebooks for a while, then move back to mostly paper books.
I'm curious to see what the market will be down the road ten, twenty years from now for ebooks vs pbooks.

Yes I am a bit curious as well. One part of me says that people who seldom read will stick mainly to paper. Another says well they already have tablets.... . Then part one chimes in, will they read books when they can twitter?
Can't even win this argument with myself
