I also think that childrens books will remain in hard copy for a long time - it's just not the same to read on an e-reader for those.
I want to desperately pack up my many many books around the house. But I do want to think carefully about those I'd still like to be at reach. When my children are in their teens, I want them to read the same books I loved, so I don't want to let those go. Many of them have never made their way to becoming ebooks.
Some of my favourite authors growing up are simply not purchasable in any format today - except as second hand. I loved Norma Klein for example, but I can't find her books in any shop now. Luckily I still have a number of them, worn out. They're pretty precious to me. I look forward to my girls reading them in their mid teen years.
